Subject: [PATCH 03/10] io_uring/rw: don't reap io-wq IOPOLL completions while io-wq has a reference
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 09:45:27 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911154811.646705-4-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911154811.646705-1-axboe@kernel.dk>
IOPOLL requests issued from io-wq are reaped by io_do_iopoll() on the
submitter, with the same window as the task_work completions: the CQE
is posted while the worker may still hold its reference, and the file
is only dropped once it does.
Leave such a request on the iopoll list until the worker has dropped
its reference, the next pass then reaps it and the put from
io_free_batch_list() is the last one. Also move the reference handling
for the task_work case into a helper.
