If requests can be submitted and completed inline, we don't need to initialize whole io_wq_work in io_init_req(), which is an expensive operation, add a new 'REQ_F_WORK_INITIALIZED' to determine whether io_wq_work is initialized and add a helper io_req_init_async(), users must call io_req_init_async() for the first time touching any members of io_wq_work. I use /dev/nullb0 to evaluate performance improvement in my physical machine: modprobe null_blk nr_devices=1 completion_nsec=0 sudo taskset -c 60 fio -name=fiotest -filename=/dev/nullb0 -iodepth=128 -thread -rw=read -ioengine=io_uring -direct=1 -bs=4k -size=100G -numjobs=1 -time_based -runtime=120 before this patch: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: bw=724MiB/s (759MB/s), 724MiB/s-724MiB/s (759MB/s-759MB/s), io=84.8GiB (91.1GB), run=120001-120001msec With this patch: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: bw=761MiB/s (798MB/s), 761MiB/s-761MiB/s (798MB/s-798MB/s), io=89.2GiB (95.8GB), run=120001-120001msec About 5% improvement.

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.
