Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] io_uring: delay sqarray static branch disablement
Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2026 22:06:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0837f85d2d0beb1ab012812bd373cbdbc3d71551.1771193194.git.asml.silence@gmail.com> (raw)
io_key_has_sqarray static branch can be easily switched on/off by the
user every time patching the kernel. That can be very disruptive as it
might require heavy synchronisation across all CPUs. Use deferred static
keys, which can rate-limit it by deferring, batching and potentially
effectively eliminating dec+inc pairs.
Fixes: 9b296c625ac1d ("io_uring: static_key for !IORING_SETUP_NO_SQARRAY")
