1. A system comprising:
a memory device comprising a group of memory units; and
a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device, to perform operations comprising:
determining whether a preemption flag associated with a first input/output (I/O) queue handling thread is equal to a first value indicating that preemption of the first I/O queue handling thread is forthcoming, wherein the first I/O queue handling thread is executing on a first processor, wherein the first I/O queue handling thread is associated with a first set of one or more queue identifiers, and wherein each queue identifier of the first set of one or more queue identifiers identifies a queue being handled by the first I/O queue handling thread; and
responsive to determining that the preemption flag is equal to the first value, transferring the first set of one or more queue identifiers to a second I/O queue handling thread executing on a second processor, wherein the first set of one or more queue identifiers is transferred to the second I/O queue handling thread via shared memory accessible to the first I/O queue handling thread and to the second I/O queue handling thread.
