We use ->ctx_new_list to notify sqo about new ctx pending, then sqo should stop and splice it to its sqd->ctx_list, paired with ->sq_thread_comp. The last one is broken because nobody reinitialises it, and trying to fix it would only add more complexity and bugs. And the first isn't really needed as is done under park(), that protects from races well. Add ctx into sqd->ctx_list directly (under park()), it's much simpler and allows to kill both, ctx_new_list and sq_thread_comp. note: apparently there is no real problem at the moment, because sq_thread_comp is used only by io_sq_thread_finish() followed by parking, where list_del(&ctx->sqd_list) removes it well regardless whether it's in the new or the active list.

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.
