req->result is cleared when io_issue_sqe() calls io_read/write_pre()
routines. Those routines however are not called when the sqe
argument is NULL, which is the case when io_issue_sqe() is called from
io_wq_submit_work(). io_issue_sqe() may then examine a stale result if
a polled request had previously failed with -EAGAIN:
if (ctx->flags & IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL) {
if (req->result == -EAGAIN)
return -EAGAIN;
io_iopoll_req_issued(req);
}
and in turn cause a subsequently completed request to be re-issued in
io_wq_submit_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.
