Yes, that got me horribly confused. :)

Fair enough.

So aside of the potential spin forever if the uring thread is lifted to
an RT scheduling class, this looks all good.

Though I assume that if that thread is pinned and an admin pushs it into
RT scheduling the spinning live lock can happen independent of cpu
hotplug.

Thanks,
