Subject: [PATCH for-next] io_uring: add async data clear/free helpers
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2025 08:04:39 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c93fcc03-ff41-4fe5-bea1-5fe3837eef73@kernel.dk> (raw)
Futex recently had an issue where it mishandled how ->async_data and
REQ_F_ASYNC_DATA is handled. To avoid future issues like that, add a set
of helpers that either clear or clear-and-free the async data assigned
to a struct io_kiocb.
Convert existing manual handling of that to use the helpers. No intended
functional changes in this patch.
