Looked through the commit again but it really doesn't change fast paths. The only paths which can be slower are ioc and q exits. Can you please do the followings?
* Share the script used for microbench. Maybe it somehow exposes slower exit path? How much regression are we talking about?
* Test with the this_q != locked_q trylock patch.
Thanks.
