This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring: don't save/restore iowait state to the 6.7-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: io_uring-don-t-save-restore-iowait-state.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7fd7ed79aa48bf5ff7c192266f74fed9417005e5 Author: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Mar 11 13:30:43 2024 -0600 io_uring: don't save/restore iowait state [ Upstream commit 6f0974eccbf78baead1735722c4f1ee3eb9422cd ] This kind of state is per-syscall, and since we're doing the waiting off entering the io_uring_enter(2) syscall, there's no way that iowait can already be set for this case. Simplify it by setting it if we need to, and always clearing it to 0 when done.
