It'll be significant code change to modify this behavior. For this reason I spin up a new thread (aka consumer thread) per io-uring context to reap IO completions. > > My reading of fs/io_uring.c suggests it is safe to submit IOs from producer_thread and reap IOs from consumer_thread. My prototype based on liburing (Ref: https://pastebin.com/6u2FZB0D) works fine too. > > I would like to get your thoughts on whether this approach is indeed safe or am I overlooking any race condition? Shortly, if you don't mix up submissions and completions, it's safe. There is only pitfall I found in liburing -- you shouldn't pass a timeout in wait functions (e.g. io_uring_wait_cqes()), which would do submission.
