Subject: [PATCH 02/15] sched: call into io_uring when a PF_IO_HANDOFF task blocks
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 09:40:52 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911154148.644489-3-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911154148.644489-1-axboe@kernel.dk>
Add PF_IO_HANDOFF, set by io_uring on a task for the duration of an
inline request issue that may block, and have sched_submit_work() call
io_uring_task_sleeping() when such a task blocks. Placeholder for now.
