Jens Axboe c4a2ed72c9 io_uring: only return -EBUSY for submit on non-flushed backlog
We return -EBUSY on submit when we have a CQ ring overflow backlog, but
that can be a bit problematic if the application is using pure userspace
poll of the CQ ring. For that case, if the ring briefly overflowed and
we have pending entries in the backlog, the submit flushes the backlog
successfully but still returns -EBUSY. If we're able to fully flush the
CQ ring backlog, let the submission proceed.

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.
