As io_threads are fully set up USER threads it's clearer to separate the code path from the KTHREAD logic. The only remaining difference to user space threads is that io_threads never return to user space again. Instead they loop within the given worker function. The fact that they never return to user space means they don't have an user space thread stack. In order to indicate that to tools like gdb we reset the stack and instruction pointers to 0. This allows gdb attach to user space processes using io-uring, which like means that they have io_threads, without printing worrying message like this: warning: Selected architecture i386:x86-64 is not compatible with reported target architecture i386 warning: Architecture rejected target-supplied description The output will be something like this: (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame * 1 LWP 4863 "io_uring-cp-for" syscall () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/syscall.S:38 2 LWP 4864 "iou-mgr-4863" 0x0000000000000000 in ??
