When IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL is enabled, io_ring_ctx_wait_and_kill() will wait for sq thread to idle by busy loop: while (ctx->sqo_thread && !wq_has_sleeper(&ctx->sqo_wait)) cond_resched(); Above codes are not friendly, indeed I think this busy loop will introduce a cpu burst in current cpu, though it maybe short. In this patch, if ctx->refs is dying, we forbids sq_thread from submitting sqes anymore, just discard leftover sqes.
