coml_nr in ctx_flush_and_put() is not protected by uring_lock, this may cause problems when accessing in parallel: say coml_nr > 0 ctx_flush_and put other context if (compl_nr) get mutex coml_nr > 0 do flush coml_nr = 0 release mutex get mutex do flush (*) release mutex in (*) place, we call io_cqring_ev_posted() and users likely get no events there. To avoid spurious events, re-check the value when under the lock.

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.
