Jens Axboe 500f9fbade io_uring: fix potential hang with polled IO
If a request issue ends up being punted to async context to avoid
blocking, we can get into a situation where the original application
enters the poll loop for that very request before it has been issued.
This should not be an issue, except that the polling will hold the
io_uring uring_ctx mutex for the duration of the poll. When the async
worker has actually issued the request, it needs to acquire this mutex
to add the request to the poll issued list. Since the application
polling is already holding this mutex, the workqueue sleeps on the
mutex forever, and the application thus never gets a chance to poll for
the very request it was interested in.

Fix this by ensuring that the polling drops the uring_ctx occasionally
if it's not making any progress.

README

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.
