13 unsigned int *values);
14
16 io_uring async workers are split into two types:
17
18 Bounded
19 These workers have a bounded execution time. Examples of that
20 are filesystem reads, which normally complete in a relatively
21 short amount of time. In case of disk failures, they are still
22 bounded by a timeout operation that will abort them if exceeded.
23
24 Unbounded
25 Work items here may take an indefinite amount of time to com‐
26 plete. Examples include doing IO to sockets, pipes, or any other
27 non-regular type of file.
28
29
30 By default, the amount of bounded IO workers is limited to how many SQ
31 entries the ring was setup with, or 4 times the number of online CPUs
32 in the system, whichever is smaller. Unbounded workers are only limited
33 by the process task limit, as indicated by the rlimit RLIMIT_NPROC
34 limit.
35
36 This can be modified by calling io_uring_register_iowq_max_workers with
37 ring set to the ring in question, and values pointing to an array of
38 two values. The first element should contain the number of desired
39 bounded workers, and the second element should contain the number of
40 desired unbounded workers. These are both maximum values, io_uring will
41 not maintain a high count of idle workers, they are reaped when they
42 are not necessary anymore.
43
44 If called with both values set to 0, the existing values are returned.
45
46
48 Returns 0 on success, with values containing the previous values for
49 the settings. On error, any of the following may be returned.
50
51 -EFAULT
52 The kernel was unable to copy the memory pointer to by values as
53 it was invalid.
54
55 -EINVAL
56 values was NULL or the new values exceeded the maximum allowed
57 value.
