Subject: [PATCH] ublk: check for unprivileged daemon on each I/O fetch
Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2025 09:52:15 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250808155216.296170-1-csander@purestorage.com> (raw)
Commit ab03a61c6614 ("ublk: have a per-io daemon instead of a per-queue
daemon") allowed each ublk I/O to have an independent daemon task.
However, nr_privileged_daemon is only computed based on whether the last
I/O fetched in each ublk queue has an unprivileged daemon task.
Fix this by checking whether every fetched I/O's daemon is privileged.
Change nr_privileged_daemon from a count of queues to a boolean
indicating whether any I/Os have an unprivileged daemon.
