From: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 7143b5ac5750f404ff3a594b34fdf3fc2f99f828 upstream. This patch drops 'cur_mm' before calling cond_resched(), to prevent the sq_thread from spinning even when the user process is finished. Before this patch, if the user process ended without closing the io_uring fd, the sq_thread continues to spin until the 'sq_thread_idle' timeout ends. In the worst case where the 'sq_thread_idle' parameter is bigger than INT_MAX, the sq_thread will spin forever.
