The comment is obsolete, because all inflight requests are drained

> But it is worse than using task_work_add().

Thanks for the test! It is better to not share ucmd between
ublk blk-mq io context and ubq daemon context, and we can
improve it for using io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task(), and I
have one patch by using the batch handing approach in
io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task().

Another reason could be the extra __set_notify_signal() in
__io_req_task_work_add() via task_work_add(). When task_work_add()
is available, we just need to call __set_notify_signal() once
for the whole batch, but it can't be done in case of using
io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task().

Also the patch of 'use llist' is actually wrong since we have to
call io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task() once in ->commit_rqs(), but
that couldn't be easy because ucmd isn't available at that time.

I think we may have to live with task_work_add() until the perf
number is improved to same basically with io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task().



thanks,
Ming
