aio: allocate kiocbs in batches ...
In testing aio on a fast storage device, I found that the context lock
takes up a fair amount of cpu time in the I/O submission path. The reason
is that we take it for every I/O submitted (see __aio_get_req). Since we
know how many I/Os are passed to io_submit, we can preallocate the kiocbs
in batches, reducing the number of times we take and release the lock.
In my testing, I was able to reduce the amount of time spent in
_raw_spin_lock_irq by .56% (average of 3 runs). The command I used to
test this was:
aio-stress -O -o 2 -o 3 -r 8 -d 128 -b 32 -i 32 -s 16384 <dev>
I also tested the patch with various numbers of events passed to
io_submit, and I ran the xfstests aio group of tests to ensure I didn't
break anything.
