Setting and clearing REQ_F_OVERFLOW in io_uring_cancel_files() and io_cqring_overflow_flush() are racy, because they might be called asynchronously. REQ_F_OVERFLOW flag in only needed for files cancellation, so if it can be guaranteed that requests _currently_ marked inflight can't be overflown, the problem will be solved with removing the flag altogether. That's how the patch works, it removes inflight status of a request in io_cqring_fill_event() whenever it should be thrown into CQ-overflow list. That's Ok to do, because no opcode specific handling can be done after io_cqring_fill_event(), the same assumption as with "struct io_completion" patches. And it already have a good place for such cleanups, which is io_clean_op(). A nice side effect of this is removing this inflight check from the hot path. note on synchronisation: now __io_cqring_fill_event() may be taking two spinlocks simultaneously, completion_lock and inflight_lock. It's fine, because we never do that in reverse order, and CQ-overflow of inflight requests shouldn't happen often.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
