So first we need: > > if (state.linked_link.head) > req_fail_link_node(state.linked_link.head); For group leader, link advancing is always done via io_queue_next(), in which io_disarm_next() is called for failing the whole remained link if the current request is marked as FAIL. > > And then we can't just remove io_queue_sqe_fallback(), because > when a group is not linked there would be no io_link_sqe() > to fail it. You can do: If one request in group is marked as FAIL, io_link_assembling() will return true, and io_link_sqe() will fail it. Thanks, Ming
