From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit efe814a471e0e58f28f1efaf430c8784a4f36626 ] It's racy to modify req->flags from a not owning context, e.g. linked timeout calling req_set_fail_links() for the master request might race with that request setting/clearing flags while being executed concurrently. Just remove req_set_fail_links(prev) from io_link_timeout_fn(), io_async_find_and_cancel() and functions down the line take care of setting the fail bit.
