This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring: allow re-poll if we made progress to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: io_uring-allow-re-poll-if-we-made-progress.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cb51b731674894f54045c3cd6ebab80e2a89af07 Author: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jan 21 10:39:22 2023 -0700 io_uring: allow re-poll if we made progress commit 10c873334febaeea9aa0c25c10b5ac0951b77a5f upstream. We currently check REQ_F_POLLED before arming async poll for a notification to retry. If it's set, then we don't allow poll and will punt to io-wq instead. This is done to prevent a situation where a buggy driver will repeatedly return that there's space/data available yet we get -EAGAIN. However, if we already transferred data, then it should be safe to rely on poll again. Gate the check on whether or not REQ_F_PARTIAL_IO is also set.
