Subject: [RFC 3/3] aio-posix: enable IORING_SETUP_COOP_TASKRUN | IORING_SETUP_TASKRUN_FLAG
Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2025 16:47:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250724204702.576637-4-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250724204702.576637-1-stefanha@redhat.com>

The IORING_SETUP_COOP_TASKRUN flag reduces interprocessor interrupts
when an io_uring event occurs on a different CPU. The idea is that the
QEMU thread will wait for a CQE anyway, so there is no need to interrupt
the CPU that it is on.

The IORING_SETUP_TASKRUN_FLAG ensures that QEMU's io_uring CQ ring
polling still works with COOP_TASKRUN. The kernel will set a flag in the
SQ ring (this is not a typo, the flag is located in the SQ ring even
though it pertains to the CQ ring) that can be polled from userspace.
