From 1962da0d2198a00a056a2915fbc6ec684c3bef0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Sun, 20 May 2018 19:19:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] aio: try to complete poll iocbs without context switch If we can acquire ctx_lock without spinning we can just remove our iocb from the active_reqs list, and thus complete the iocbs from the wakeup context.
