Jens Axboe 768134d4f4 io_uring: don't do flush cancel under inflight_lock
We can't safely cancel under the inflight lock. If the work hasn't been
started yet, then io_wq_cancel_work() simply marks the work as cancelled
and invokes the work handler. But if the work completion needs to grab
the inflight lock because it's grabbing user files, then we'll deadlock
trying to finish the work as we already hold that lock.

Instead grab a reference to the request, if it isn't already zero. If
it's zero, then we know it's going through completion anyway, and we
can safely ignore it. If it's not zero, then we can drop the lock and
attempt to cancel from there.

This also fixes a missing finish_wait() at the end of
io_uring_cancel_files().

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.
