Subject: [PATCH 14/15] io_uring: add tracepoints for the handoff operation
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 09:41:04 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911154148.644489-15-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911154148.644489-1-axboe@kernel.dk>

Add tracepoints for a handoff, a handoff that didn't happen with the
reason, and the promoted task resuming the submission.

Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
