Currenlty, we allocate one ctx reference per request at submission time and put them at free. It's batched and not so expensive but it still bloats the kernel, adds 2 function calls for rcu and adds some overhead for request counting in io_free_batch_list(). Always keep one reference with a request, even when it's freed and in io_uring request caches. There is extra work at ring exit / quiesce paths, which now need to put all cached requests. io_ring_exit_work() is already looping, so it's not a problem. Add hybrid-busy waiting to io_ctx_quiesce() as well for now.

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.
