IIUC, IORING_POLL_ADD_MULTI is similar to epoll's edge-triggered mode,
that means once one pure poll request returns one event(cqe), we'll
need to read or write continually until EAGAIN is returned, then I think
there is a possible poll event lost race in multi shot mode:
t1 poll request add | |
t2 | |
t3 event happens | |
t4 task work add | |
t5 | task work run |
t6 | commit one cqe |
t7 | | user app handles cqe
t8 | new event happen |
t9 | add back to waitqueue |
t10 |
After t6 but before t9, if new event happens, there'll be no wakeup
operation, and if user app has picked up this cqe in t7, read or write
until EAGAIN is returned. In t8, new event happens and will be lost,
though this race window maybe small.
To fix this possible race, add poll request back to waitqueue before
committing cqe.

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.
