This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring: fix poll_remove stalled req completion to the 6.8-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-fix-poll_remove-stalled-req-completion.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fcaff8f33afba6a6bd55ae9465f3fb71552b5381 Author: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 15 15:29:51 2024 +0000 io_uring: fix poll_remove stalled req completion [ Upstream commit 5e3afe580a9f5ca173a6bd55ffe10948796ef7e5 ] Taking the ctx lock is not enough to use the deferred request completion infrastructure, it'll get queued into the list but no one would expect it there, so it will sit there until next io_submit_flush_completions(). It's hard to care about the cancellation path, so complete it via tw.
