Some workloads rely on a registered eventfd (via io_uring_register_eventfd(3)) in order to wake up and process the io_uring. In the case of a ring setup with IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN, that eventfd also needs to be signalled when there are tasks to run. This changes an old behaviour which assumed 1 eventfd signal implied at least 1 CQE, however only when this new flag is set (and so old users will not notice). This should be expected with the IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN flag as it is not guaranteed that every task will result in a CQE.

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 Restructured Text 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.
