Revision 4fc216649ddb40763963140eac3eb95890b32486 authored by Cheng Chang on 20 March 2020, 23:15:40 UTC, committed by Facebook GitHub Bot on 20 March 2020, 23:33:26 UTC
Summary:
By supporting direct IO in RandomAccessFileReader::MultiRead, the benefits of parallel IO (IO uring) and direct IO can be combined.

In direct IO mode, read requests are aligned and merged together before being issued to RandomAccessFile::MultiRead, so blocks in the original requests might share the same underlying buffer, the shared buffers are returned in `aligned_bufs`, which is a new parameter of the `MultiRead` API.

For example, suppose alignment requirement for direct IO is 4KB, one request is (offset: 1KB, len: 1KB), another request is (offset: 3KB, len: 1KB), then since they all belong to page (offset: 0, len: 4KB), `MultiRead` only reads the page with direct IO into a buffer on heap, and returns 2 Slices referencing regions in that same buffer. See `random_access_file_reader_test.cc` for more examples.
