But surely you don't want it terminated from here? It seems like a very
odd choice. As it stands, if you end up doing more than one loop, then
it won't arm poll and it'll get failed.

There's no other choice for polling, and it doesn't do it for
non-polling. The current logic makes sense - if you do a blocking
attempt and you get -EAGAIN, that's really the final result and you
cannot sanely retry for !IOPOLL in that case. Before we did poll arm for
io-wq, even the first -EAGAIN would've terminated it. Relying on -EAGAIN
from a blocking attempt to do anything but fail the request with -EAGAIN
res is pretty fragile and odd, I think that needs sorting out.

Right, probably won't ever be a thing for !multishot. As mentioned in my
original reply, it really just needs a comment explaining exactly what
it's doing and why it's fine.

Both clearer and more correct, I would say.

Yes, this is how most patch series are - they will compile separately,
but obviously won't necessarily make sense or be functional until you
get to the end. But since you very much do have future knowledge in
these patches, there's no excuse for not making them interact with each
other better. Each patch should not pretend it doesn't know what comes
next in a series, if you can make a followup patch simpler with a tweak
to a previous patch, that is definitely a good idea.

And here, even the end result would be better imho without having

if (a) {
	big blob of stuff
} else {
	other blob of stuff
}

when it could just be

if (a)
	return big_blog_of_stuff();

return other_blog_of_stuff();

instead.

But that's basically my point, it even makes followup patches simpler to
read as well. Is it stylistic? Certainly, I just prefer having the above
rather than two big indentations. But it also makes the followup patch
simpler and it's basically a one-liner change at that point, and a
bigger hunk of added code that's the new function that handles the new
case.

It's still an RFC series, please do change it for v4.
