From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 368c5481ae7c6a9719c40984faea35480d9f4872 ] __io_kill_linked_timeout() sets REQ_F_COMP_LOCKED for a linked timeout even if it can't cancel it, e.g. it's already running. It not only races with io_link_timeout_fn() for ->flags field, but also leaves the flag set and so io_link_timeout_fn() may find it and decide that it holds the lock. Hopefully, the second problem is potential.
