Subject: [PATCH 6.18 01/49] io_uring/io-wq: add exit-on-idle state
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 14:47:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260213134708.941424898@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260213134708.885500854@linuxfoundation.org>

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Li Chen <me@linux.beauty>

commit 38aa434ab9335ce2d178b7538cdf01d60b2014c3 upstream.

io-wq uses an idle timeout to shrink the pool, but keeps the last worker
around indefinitely to avoid churn.

For tasks that used io_uring for file I/O and then stop using io_uring,
this can leave an iou-wrk-* thread behind even after all io_uring
instances are gone. This is unnecessary overhead and also gets in the
way of process checkpoint/restore.

Add an exit-on-idle state that makes all io-wq workers exit as soon as
they become idle, and provide io_wq_set_exit_on_idle() to toggle it.
