Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 2/3] io_uring/io-wq: move worker lists to struct io_wq_acct
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 12:05:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825160543.4126397-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825160543.4126397-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Max Kellermann <max.kellermann@ionos.com>

[ Upstream commit 751eedc4b4b79332ecf1a78c0dbeb47d573a8f59 ]

Have separate linked lists for bounded and unbounded workers.  This
way, io_acct_activate_free_worker() sees only workers relevant to it
and doesn't need to skip irrelevant ones.  This speeds up the
linked list traversal (under acct->lock).

The `io_wq.lock` field is moved to `io_wq_acct.workers_lock`.  It did
not actually protect "access to elements below", that is, not all of
them; it only protected access to the worker lists.  By having two
locks instead of one, contention on this lock is reduced.
