Abstract
A technique for processing IO (Input/Output) requests includes executing a first set of instructions for processing an IO request using a first thread on a CPU core and providing the first thread with an option, based on how busy the CPU core is, either (i) to execute a second set of instructions for further processing the IO request itself or (ii) to pass the IO request to a second thread on the CPU core, such that the second thread executes the second set of instructions instead of the first thread.
