1) The first problem is io_uring_cancel_sqpoll() -> io_uring_cancel_task_requests() basically doing park(); park(); and so hanging. 2) Another one is more subtle, when the master task is doing cancellations, but SQPOLL task submits in-between the end of the cancellation but before finish() requests taking a ref to the ctx, and so eternally locking it up. 3) Yet another is a dying SQPOLL task doing io_uring_cancel_sqpoll() and same io_uring_cancel_sqpoll() from the owner task, they race for tctx->wait events. And there probably more of them. Instead do SQPOLL cancellations from within SQPOLL task context via task_work, see io_sqpoll_cancel_sync(). With that we don't need temporal park()/unpark() during cancellation, which is ugly, subtle and anyway doesn't allow to do io_run_task_work() properly. io_uring_cancel_sqpoll() is called only from SQPOLL task context and under sqd locking, so all parking is removed from there. And so, io_sq_thread_[un]park() and io_sq_thread_stop() are not used now by SQPOLL task, and that spare us from some headache. Also remove ctx->sqd_list early to avoid 2). And kill tctx->sqpoll, which is not used anymore. Signed-off-by: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
