Subject: [PATCH v5 2/6] io_uring: clear IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER for IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 13:09:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215200909.3505001-3-csander@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251215200909.3505001-1-csander@purestorage.com>
IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER doesn't currently enable any optimizations,
but it will soon be used to avoid taking io_ring_ctx's uring_lock when
submitting from the single issuer task. If the IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL flag
is set, the SQ thread is the sole task issuing SQEs. However, other
tasks may make io_uring_register() syscalls, which must be synchronized
with SQE submission. So it wouldn't be safe to skip the uring_lock
around the SQ thread's submission even if IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER is
set. Therefore, clear IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER from the io_ring_ctx
flags if IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL is set.
