This copy only happens if the operation goes to the async path
(calling io_uring_cmd_prep_async()). This only happens if
f_op->uring_cmd() returns -EAGAIN.
ret = file->f_op->uring_cmd(ioucmd, issue_flags);
if (ret == -EAGAIN) {
if (!req_has_async_data(req)) {
if (io_alloc_async_data(req))
return -ENOMEM;
io_uring_cmd_prep_async(req);
}
return -EAGAIN;
}
Are you saying that after this copy, the operation is still reading from
sqe instead of req->async_data?
If you have an example of the two copes flow, that would be great.
Thanks for the review,
Breno
