Hi, Jens and Pavel
sorry for the late reply.

I've tried some other methods, but overall, I haven't found a more suitable
method than fdinfo.
If you think it is troublesome to obtain the PID, then I can provide
a shell script to output the total_time and work_time of all sqpoll threads
to the terminal, so that we do not have to manually obtain the PID of each
thread (the script can be placed in tools/ include/io_uring).

eg:

PID WorkTime(us) TotalTime(us) COMMAND
9330 1106578 2215321 iou-sqp-9329
9454 1510658 1715321 iou-sqp-9453
9478 165785 223219 iou-sqp-9477
9587 106578 153217 iou-sqp-9586

What do you think of this solution?
