Max Kellermann 6ee78354ea io_uring/io-wq: cache work->flags in variable
This eliminates several redundant atomic reads and therefore reduces
the duration the surrounding spinlocks are held.

In several io_uring benchmarks, this reduced the CPU time spent in
queued_spin_lock_slowpath() considerably:

io_uring benchmark with a flood of `IORING_OP_NOP` and `IOSQE_ASYNC`:

    38.86%     -1.49%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath
     6.75%     +0.36%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] io_worker_handle_work
     2.60%     +0.19%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] io_nop
     3.92%     +0.18%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] io_req_task_complete
     6.34%     -0.18%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] io_wq_submit_work

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
