All sqpoll rings (even sharing sqpoll task) are currently dead bound to the task that created them, iow when owner task dies it kills all its SQPOLL rings and their inflight requests via task_work infra. It's neither the nicist way nor the most convenient as adds extra locking/waiting and dependencies. Leave it alone and rely on SIGKILL being delivered on its thread group exit, so there are only two cases left: 1) thread group is dying, so sqpoll task gets a signal and exit itself cancelling all requests. 2) an sqpoll ring is dying. Because refs_kill() is called the sqpoll not going to submit any new request, and that's what we need. And io_ring_exit_work() will do all the cancellation itself before actually killing ctx, so sqpoll doesn't need to worry about it.

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.
