[PATCH] iouring: Fix min_timeout behaviour
From: Christian A. Ehrhardt
Date: Sat Jun 06 2026 - 16:20:21 EST
The wakeup condition if a min timeout is present and has
expired is that at least _one_ CQE was posted. Thus set
the cq_tail target to ->cq_min_tail + 1. Without this
commit a spurious wakeup can result in a premature wakeup
because io_should_wake() will return true even if _no_ CQE
was posted at all.
Tested by running the liburing testsuite with no regressions.
Additionally, tested by turning all calls to schedule() in
io_uring/wait.c into calls to schedule_timeout(1) to force
the spurious wakeups. With these spurious wakeups the
min-timeout.t test fails before and passes after this commit.
