I'm not seeing why triggering io_wq_worker_sleeping() should even be a problem in the first place. I suspect that is entirely historical too, and has to do with how it used to do that struct io_worker *worker = kthread_data(tsk); struct io_wqe *wqe = worker->wqe; back in the bad old days of kthreads. But yeah, I don't know that code. Linus
