Hi,

Not final at all. Some of the constraints like needing to submit/receive
completions to/from multiple processes are pretty immovable though.

Perhaps. It'd need to be clear when we need to do so, as we certainly
won't want to move the minimal kernel version further up.


But I think postgres is far from the only use case for wanting the
submitting mm to be the relevant one, not the creating one. It seems far
more dangerous to use the creating mm than the submitting mm. Makes
things like passing a uring fd with a few pre-opened files to another
process impossible.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
