From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit 6d816e088c359866f9867057e04f244c608c42fe upstream. We're holding the request reference, but we need to go one higher to ensure that the ctx remains valid after the request has finished. If the ring is closed with pending task_work inflight, and the given io_kiocb finishes sync during issue, then we need a reference to the ring itself around the task_work execution cycle.
