There are no ordering constraints between the submission and completion side of io_uring. But sometimes that would be useful to have. One common example is doing an fsync, for instance, and have it ordered with previous writes. Without support for that, the application must do this tracking itself. This adds a general SQE flag, IOSQE_IO_DRAIN. If a command is marked with this flag, then it will not be issued before previous commands have completed, and subsequent commands submitted after the drain will not be issued before the drain is started.. If there are no pending commands, setting this flag will not change the behavior of the issue of the command. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
