mainlining shenanigans
500f9fbade
If a request issue ends up being punted to async context to avoid blocking, we can get into a situation where the original application enters the poll loop for that very request before it has been issued. This should not be an issue, except that the polling will hold the io_uring uring_ctx mutex for the duration of the poll. When the async worker has actually issued the request, it needs to acquire this mutex to add the request to the poll issued list. Since the application polling is already holding this mutex, the workqueue sleeps on the mutex forever, and the application thus never gets a chance to poll for the very request it was interested in. Fix this by ensuring that the polling drops the uring_ctx occasionally if it's not making any progress. Reported-by: Jeffrey M.

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.
