Good.

Bad.

Note: I had to apply the vdso2c.h patch to build this -rc3 based kernel:
diff --git a/arch/x86/vdso/vdso2c.h b/arch/x86/vdso/vdso2c.h
index df95a2f..11b65d4 100644
--- a/arch/x86/vdso/vdso2c.h

@@ -93,6 +93,9 @@ static void BITSFUNC(copy_section)(struct BITSFUNC(fake_sections) *out,
	uint64_t flags = GET_LE(&in->sh_flags);

	bool copy = flags & SHF_ALLOC &&
+		(GET_LE(&in->sh_size) ||

Results: fio started OK, getting 900K IOPS, but ^C led to 0 IOPS and
an fio hang, with one CPU (CPU 0) stuck in io_submit loops.

perf top shows lookup_ioctx function alongside io_submit and
do_io_submit this time:

ftrace on CPU 0 shows similar repetition to before:
