Subject: [PATCH 2/2] io_uring: mark known and harmless racy ctx->int_flags uses
Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 08:58:06 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260314145920.86796-3-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260314145920.86796-1-axboe@kernel.dk>

There are a few of these, where flags are read outside of the
uring_lock, yet it's harmless to race on them.
