If io_sq_thread_park() of one task got rescheduled right after set_bit(), before it gets back to mutex_lock() there can happen park()/unpark() by another task with SQPOLL locking again and continuing running never seeing that first set_bit(SHOULD_PARK), so won't even try to put the mutex down for parking. It will get parked eventually when SQPOLL drops the lock for reschedule, but may be problematic and will get in the way of further fixes. Account number of tasks waiting for parking with a new atomic variable park_pending and adjust SHOULD_PARK accordingly. It doesn't entirely replaces SHOULD_PARK bit with this atomic var because it's convenient to have it as a bit in the state and will help to do optimisations later.

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.
