mainlining shenanigans
c0e48f9dea
There is a hang issue while using fio to do some basic test. The issue
can be easily reproduced using the below script:
while true
do
fio --ioengine=io_uring -rw=write -bs=4k -numjobs=1 \
-size=1G -iodepth=64 -name=uring --filename=/dev/zero
done
After several minutes (or more), fio would block at
io_uring_enter->io_cqring_wait in order to waiting for previously
committed sqes to be completed and can't return to user anymore until
we send a SIGTERM to fio. After receiving SIGTERM, fio hangs at
io_ring_ctx_wait_and_kill with a backtrace like this:

The reason is that we had added a req to ctx->pending_async at the very
end, but it didn't get a chance to be processed. How could this happen?
fio#cpu0 wq#cpu1
io_add_to_prev_work io_sq_wq_submit_work
atomic_read() <<< 1
atomic_dec_return() << 1->0
list_empty(); <<< true;
list_add_tail()
atomic_read() << 0 or 1?
As atomic_ops.rst states, atomic_read does not guarantee that the
runtime modification by any other thread is visible yet, so we must take
care of that with a proper implicit or explicit memory barrier.

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.
