[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.2 58/76] io_uring: don't enter poll loop if we have CQEs pending

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Thu Aug 29 2019 - 14:29:09 EST


From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a3a0e43fd77013819e4b6f55e37e0efe8e35d805 ]

We need to check if we have CQEs pending before starting a poll loop,
as those could be the events we will be spinning for (and hence we'll
find none). This can happen if a CQE triggers an error, or if it is
found by eg an IRQ before we get a chance to find it through polling.
