Either UBD_IO_COMMIT_AND_FETCH_REQ or UBD_IO_COMMIT_REQ will be sent to ubd_drv
for completing these IOs. And finally ubd_cancel_dev() in ubd driver will
cancel all pending io commands, so io_uring can be exited. I guess
UBD_IO_COMMIT_REQ can be removed too.

If daemon is alive, ubd_drv will rely on ubq_daemon for completing
all inflight IOs. Otherwise, the monitor work will be triggered for
completing/failing inflight IOs. The mechanism is actually very simple:

static void ubd_stop_dev(struct ubd_device *ub)
{
        mutex_lock(&ub->mutex);
        if (!disk_live(ub->ub_disk))
                goto unlock;

        del_gendisk(ub->ub_disk);	// drain & wait in-flight IOs
        ub->dev_info.state = UBD_S_DEV_DEAD;
        ub->dev_info.ubdsrv_pid = -1;
        ubd_cancel_dev(ub);	   //No IO is possible now, so cancel pending io commands
 unlock:
        mutex_unlock(&ub->mutex);
        cancel_delayed_work_sync(&ub->monitor_work);
}

When waiting for IO completion in del_gendisk(), in case that ubq_daemon
is exiting/dying, monitor work will be triggered to call ubd_abort_queue() to
fail in-flight requests for making forward progress. ubd_abort_queue() may
looks a bit tricky to try using task work for aborting request, that
is just for sync with ubd_rq_task_work_fn().


Thanks,
