Some io_uring-eventfd users assume that there won't be spurious wakeups. That assumption has to be honoured by all io_cqring_ev_posted() callers, which is inconvenient and from time to time leads to problems but should be maintained to not break the userspace. Instead of making the callers track whether a CQE was posted or not, hide it inside io_eventfd_signal(). It saves ->cached_cq_tail it saw last time and triggers the eventfd only when ->cached_cq_tail changed since then.

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.
