Subject: Re: [PATCH] io_uring: create percpu io sq thread when IORING_SETUP_SQ_AFF is flagged
Date: Wed, 20 May 2020 20:11:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>

hi,

There're still some left work to do, fox example, use srcu to protect multiple
ctxs iteration to reduce mutex lock competition, make percpu thread aware of
cpu hotplug, but I send it now for some early comments, thanks in advance!

Regards,
Xiaoguang Wang
