From 9835d6fafba58e6d9386a6d5af800789bdb52e5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Begunkov Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2019 21:24:56 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: add likely/unlikely in io_get_sqring() The number of SQEs to submit is specified by a user, so io_get_sqring() in most of the cases succeeds. Hint compilers about that. Checking ASM genereted by gcc 9.2.0 for x64, there is one branch misprediction.
