protects against ctx->task deallocation, see a comment in
io_ring_exit_work() -> synchronize_rcu()

Yeah that's just an editing mistake.

Is there a good reason why it changes the semantics of
what's stored across adds? It was assigning a corrected
nr_tw, this one will start heavily spamming with wake_up()
in some cases.

Not sure I follow, how so? nr_tw_prev will be the previous count, just
like before. Except we won't need to dig into the list to find it, we
have it readily available. nr_tw will be the current code, or force wake
if needed. As before.

The problem is what it stores, not how and where. Before req->nr_tw
could've been set to IO_CQ_WAKE_FORCE, in which case following
requests are not going to attempt waking up the task, now work_items
is just a counter.

Let's say you've got a bunch of non-lazy adds coming close to each
other. The first sets IO_CQ_WAKE_FORCE and wakes the task, and
others just queue themselves in the list. Now, every single one
of them will try to wake_up() as long as ->cq_wait_nr is large
enough.

If we really care about the non-lazy path as much, we can just use the

Well, it's all linked requests, some of sendzc notif until
I optimise it, maybe something else?

same storing scheme as we did in req->nr_tw, except in ->work_items
instead. Not a big deal imho.

Yes please. It wouldn't be great sneaking them in the same
commit either way.
