After closing an SQPOLL ring, io_ring_exit_work() kicks in and starts doing cancellations via io_uring_try_cancel_requests(). It will go through io_uring_try_cancel_iowq(), which uses ctx->tctx_list, but as SQPOLL task don't have a ctx note, its io-wq won't be reachable and so is left not cancelled. It will eventually cancelled when one of the tasks dies, but if a thread group survives for long and changes rings, it will spawn lots of unreclaimed resources and live locked works. Cancel SQPOLL task's io-wq separately in io_ring_exit_work().

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.
