Subject: [PATCH 1/2] io_uring/tctx: have io_uring_alloc_task_context() return tctx
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 13:24:07 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408192711.396827-2-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260408192711.396827-1-axboe@kernel.dk>
Instead of having io_uring_alloc_task_context() return an int and
assign tsk->io_uring, just have it return the task context directly.
This enables cleaner error handling in callers, which may have
failure points post calling io_uring_alloc_task_context().
