Yes, I'm also confused by this. Could we just remove the "cancel_all"?

If we always cancel all requests, these code would be much simpler,
and we can free task_ctx here, instead of in the last reference put
of task_struct.

Ok, get it.

This inflight will used after cancel, maybe some requests become inflight during cancel process?
So we use a stale inflight value? I'm not sure.

Thanks.
