Use multiple connections to imageio server to speed up the transfer.
Connections are managed via a thread safe queue. Threads remove
a connection from the queue for every request, and put it back when at
the end of the request. Only one thread can access the connection at the
same time.
Threads are accessing existing values in the handle dict, like
h["path"]. They may also modify h["failed"] on errors. These
operations
are thread safe and do not require additional locking.
Sending flush request is more tricky; on imageio side, we have one
qemu-nbd server, with multiple connections. I'm not sure if sending one
flush command on one of the connections is good enough to flush all
commands, so we send flush command on all connections in the flush
callback.
I know the answer to this! It depends if the NBD server advertises
multi-conn or not. With libnbd you can find out by querying
nbd_can_multi_conn on any of the connections (if the server is
behaving, the answer should be identical for any connection with the
same exportname). See:
https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/blob/master/doc/proto.md
"bit 8, NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN: Indicates that the server operates
entirely without cache, or that the cache it uses is shared among
all connections to the given device. In particular, if this flag is
present, then the effects of NBD_CMD_FLUSH and NBD_CMD_FLAG_FUA MUST
be visible across all connections when the server sends its reply to
that command to the client. In the absence of this flag, clients
SHOULD NOT multiplex their commands over more than one connection to
the export."
For unclear reasons qemu-nbd only advertises multi-conn for r/o
connections, assuming my reading of the code is correct. For nbdkit
we went through the plugins a long time ago and made them advertise
(or not) multi-conn as appropriate.
Since flush may be called when there are in-flight requests, we wait
until all in-flight request are done before sending a flush. While
flushing, the connection pool is empty so new requests will block on the
queue until the flush is completed.
Closing is done in a similar way, waiting until all in-flight requests
are done and closing all connections.
Testing shows that we requests are spread over 4 connections, but
performance is worse. Connection time increased from 5.36 seconds to
7.08 seconds (32% slower).
