While testing io_uring in arm, we found sometimes io_sq_thread() keeps
polling io requests even though there are not inflight io requests in
block layer. After some investigations, found a possible race about
io_kiocb.flags, see below race codes:
1) in the end of io_write() or io_read()
req->flags &= ~REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP;
kfree(iovec);
return ret;
2) in io_complete_rw_iopoll()
if (res != -EAGAIN)
req->flags |= REQ_F_IOPOLL_COMPLETED;
In IOPOLL mode, io requests still maybe completed by interrupt, then
above codes are not safe, concurrent modifications to req->flags, which
is not protected by lock or is not atomic modifications. I also had
disassemble io_complete_rw_iopoll() in arm:
req->flags |= REQ_F_IOPOLL_COMPLETED;
0xffff000008387b18 <+76>: ldr w0, [x19,#104]
0xffff000008387b1c <+80>: orr w0, w0, #0x1000
0xffff000008387b20 <+84>: str w0, [x19,#104]
Seems that the "req->flags |= REQ_F_IOPOLL_COMPLETED;" is load and
modification, two instructions, which obviously is not atomic.
To fix this issue, add a new iopoll_completed in io_kiocb to indicate
whether io request is completed.

README
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.
