From 56112578c71213a10c995a56835bddb5e9ab1ed0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Begunkov Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2026 22:06:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: delay sqarray static branch disablement io_key_has_sqarray static branch can be easily switched on/off by the user every time patching the kernel. That can be very disruptive as it might require heavy synchronisation across all CPUs. Use deferred static keys, which can rate-limit it by deferring, batching and potentially effectively eliminating dec+inc pairs.
