With ->flush() gone we're now leaving all uring file notes until the task dies/execs, so the ctx will not be freed until all tasks that have ever submit a request die. It was nicer with flush but not much, we could have locked as described ctx in many cases. Now we guarantee that ctx outlives all tctx in a sense that io_ring_exit_work() waits for all tctxs to drop their corresponding enties in ->xa, and ctx won't go away until then. Hence, additional io_uring file reference (a.k.a. task file notes) are not needed anymore. Signed-off-by: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
