io_fallback_req_func() doesn't expect anyone creating inline
completions, and no one currently does that. Teach the function to flush
completions preparing for further changes.

why do we protect io_submit_flush_completions() with uring_lock,
regarding that it is called in original context. Btw, why not
use ctx_flush_and_put()

The fallback thing is called from a workqueue not the submitter task
context. See delayed_work and so.

Regarding locking, it touches struct io_submit_state, and it's protected by
->uring_lock. In particular we're interested in ->reqs and ->free_list.
FWIW, there is refurbishment going on around submit state, so if proves
useful the locking may change in coming months.

ctx_flush_and_put() could have been used, but simpler to hand code it
and avoid the (always messy) conditional ref grabbing and locking.

I didn't get it, what do you mean 'avoid the (always messy) conditional
ref grabbing and locking'? the code here and in ctx_flush_and_put() are
same..though I think in ctx_flush_and_put(), there is a problem that
compl_nr should also be protected.

Ok, the long story. First, notice a ctx check at the beginning of
ctx_flush_and_put(), that one is conditional. Even though we know
it's not NULL, it's more confusing and might be a problem for
static and human analysis.

Also, locking is never easy, and so IMHO it's preferable to keep
lock() and a matching unlock (or get/put) in the same function if
possible, much easier to read. Compare

ref_get();
do_something();
ref_put();

and

ref_get();
do_something();
flush_ctx();

I believe, the first one is of less mental overhead.
Thanks, got it.
