Support handling TCP I/O in simple separate io_uring-based I/O threads
Required mainly for clients, allows to scale parallel client I/O with TCP from 100-150k iops to ~400k iops and from 2-3 GB/s to at least 7-8 GB/s with 4 I/O threads, at the same time increasing Q=1 latency by 2x thread switching delay, which is ~10 us when CPU powersaving is disabled and may be as high as 200 us when it's enabled.

Number of separate threads for handling TCP network I/O at client library

side. Enabling 4 threads usually allows to increase peak performance of each

client from approx. 2-3 to 7-8 GByte/s linear read/write and from approx.

100-150 to 400 thousand iops, but at the same time it increases latency.
|
||||
Latency increase depends on CPU: with CPU power saving disabled latency
|
||||
only increases by ~10 us (equivalent to Q=1 iops decrease from 10500 to 9500),
|
||||
with CPU power saving enabled it may be as high as 500 us (equivalent to Q=1
|
||||
iops decrease from 2000 to 1000). RDMA isn't affected by this option.
|
||||
|
||||
It's recommended to enable client I/O threads if you don't use RDMA and want
|
||||
to increase peak client performance.
