Currently, IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS applies only to the task
that issued it, it's unexpected for users. If one task creates a ring,
limits workers and then passes it to another task the limit won't be
applied to the other task.
Another pitfall is that a task should either create a ring or submit at
least one request for IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS to work at all,
furher complicating the picture.
Change the API, save the limits and apply to all future users. Note, it
should be done first before giving away the ring or submitting new
requests otherwise the result is not guaranteed.

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.
