Allow deferring async tasks until the user calls io_uring_enter(2) with the IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS flag. Enable this mode with a flag at io_uring_setup time. This functionality requires that the later io_uring_enter will be called from the same submission task, and therefore restrict this flag to work only when IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER is also set. Being able to hand pick when tasks are run prevents the problem where there is current work to be done, however task work runs anyway. For example, a common workload would obtain a batch of CQEs, and process each one. Interrupting this to additional taskwork would add latency but not gain anything. If instead task work is deferred to just before more CQEs are obtained then no additional latency is added. The way this is implemented is by trying to keep task work local to a io_ring_ctx, rather than to the submission task. This is required, as the application will want to wake up only a single io_ring_ctx at a time to process work, and so the lists of work have to be kept separate. This has some other benefits like not having to check the task continually in handle_tw_list (and potentially unlocking/locking those), and reducing locks in the submit & process completions path. There are networking cases where using this option can reduce request latency by 50%. For example a contrived example using [1] where the client sends 2k data and receives the same data back while doing some system calls (to trigger task work) shows this reduction. The reason ends up being that if sending responses is delayed by processing task work, then the client side sits idle. Whereas reordering the sends first means that the client runs it's workload in parallel with the local task work.
