Comment on Is There I/O After Death? What Happens to Io_uring When a Process Diesparent

Security and performance are often have different, contradictory needs.

The meltdown+spectre saga showed this for speculative execution. This is no different.

Typically there is also a latency trade off, so you can choose security and performance while losing latency. Systems should not depend on processes being fast to terminate anyways so making it slower in this case is fine.
