You mean via io_poll_remove_all()? That doesn't happen when a thread
dies, right?

As far as I can tell, the following might happen:

1. process with threads A and B set up uring
2. thread B submits chained requests poll->read
3. thread A waits for request completion
4. thread B dies
5. poll waitqueue is notified, data is ready

Even if there isn't a memory leak, you'd still want the read request
to execute at some point so that thread A can see the result, right?

And actually, in this scenario, wouldn't the req->task be a dangling
pointer, since you're not holding a reference? Or is there some magic
callback from do_exit() to io_uring that I missed? There is a comment
"/* task will wait for requests on exit, don't need a ref */", but I
don't see how that works...
