It looks like this has something to do with multiple session setups on
the same channel, and there's a fix introduced in 5.19-rc1:

5752bf645f9 "cifs: avoid parallel session setups on same channel"

Can you build a test kernel with that commit and test it again? I
couldn't reproduce this with a small liburing test program. If you can
provide one, I'd be happy to take a deeper look at this bug.

Please note that the actual root cause of the error (CIFS needing
reconnect) is not very clear to me, but I don't have experience with
io_uring anyway:

178 Jun 29 11:25:39 pve702 kernel: [   87.439910] CIFS: fs/cifs/transport.c: signal is pending after attempt to send
179 Jun 29 11:25:39 pve702 kernel: [   87.439920] CIFS: fs/cifs/transport.c: partial send (wanted=65652 sent=53364): terminating session
180 Jun 29 11:25:39 pve702 kernel: [   87.439970] CIFS: VFS: \\192.168.20.241 Error -512 sending data on socket to server
<cifs marks all sessions and tcons for reconnect and gets in the
erroneous reconnect loop as shown above>
