io_uring caches task references to avoid doing atomics for each of them
per request. If a request is put from the same task that allocated it,
then we can maintain a per-ctx cache of them. This obviously relies
on io_uring always pruning caches in a reliable way, and there's
currently a case off io_uring fd release where we can miss that.
One example is a ring setup with IOPOLL, which relies on the task
polling for completions, which will free them. However, if such a task
submits a request and then exits or closes the ring without reaping
the completion, then ring release will reap and put. If release happens
from that very same task, the completed request task refs will get
put back into the cache pool. This is problematic, as we're now beyond
the point of pruning caches.
Manually drop these caches after doing an IOPOLL reap. This releases
references from the current task, which is enough. If another task
happens to be doing the release, then the caching will not be
triggered and there's no issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
