Workloads using provided buffers benefit from using and returning buffers in the right order, and so does TLBs for that matter. Manage the internal buffer list in a straight list, rather than use the head buffer as the insertion node. Use a hashed list for the buffer group IDs instead of xarray, the overhead is much lower this way. xarray provides internal locking and other trickery that is handy for some uses cases, but io_uring already locks internally for the buffer manipulation and needs none of that. This is good for about a 2% reduction in overhead, combination of the improved management and the fact that the workload has an easier time bundling back provided buffers.

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.
