[PATCH v5 3/4] io_uring: avoid ring quiesce for IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD_ASYNC

From: Usama Arif
Date: Thu Feb 03 2022 - 18:34:55 EST


This is done using the RCU data structure (io_ev_fd). eventfd_async
is moved from io_ring_ctx to io_ev_fd which is RCU protected hence
avoiding ring quiesce which is much more expensive than an RCU lock.
io_should_trigger_evfd is already under rcu_read_lock so there is
no extra RCU read-side critical section needed.
