commit f8b632e89a101dae349a7b212c1771d7925f441b upstream. io_uring_cancel_generic() should retry if any state changes like a request is completed, however in case of a task exit it only goes for another loop and avoids schedule() if any tracked (i.e. REQ_F_INFLIGHT) request got completed. Let's assume we have a non-tracked request executing in iowq and a tracked request linked to it. Let's also assume io_uring_cancel_generic() fails to find and cancel the request, i.e. via io_run_local_work(), which may happen as io-wq has gaps. Next, the request logically completes, io-wq still hold a ref but queues it for completion via tw, which happens in io_uring_try_cancel_requests(). After, right before prepare_to_wait() io-wq puts the request, grabs the linked one and tries executes it, e.g. arms polling. Finally the cancellation loop calls prepare_to_wait(), there are no tw to run, no tracked request was completed, so the tctx_inflight() check passes and the task is put to indefinite sleep.

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 reStructuredText 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.
