Subject: [PATCH 09/15] io_uring: keep the submission plug on the io_submit_sqes() stack
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 09:40:59 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911154148.644489-10-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911154148.644489-1-axboe@kernel.dk>
The submission plug is embedded in the ring's submit state, which only
works while a single task runs the whole batch. With a submitter
identity handoff another task finishes the batch, and the block layer
caches current->plug across sleeps. Put the plug on the stack of
io_submit_sqes() instead, it stays with the task that started it.
No functional changes in this patch.
