<content type='text'>
A previous commit fixed a poll race that can occur, but it's only
applicable for multishot requests. For a multishot request, we can safely
ignore a spurious wakeup, as we never leave the waitqueue to begin with.

A blunt reissue of a multishot armed request can cause us to leak a
buffer, if they are ring provided. While this seems like a bug in itself,
it's not really defined behavior to reissue a multishot request directly.
It's less efficient to do so as well, and not required to rearm anything
like it is for singleshot poll requests.

If we have multiple requests waiting on the same target poll waitqueue,
then it's quite possible to get a request triggered and get disappointed
in not being able to make any progress with it. If we race in doing so,
we'll potentially leave the poll request on the internal tables, but
removed from the waitqueue. That means that any subsequent trigger of
the poll waitqueue will not kick that request into action, causing an
application to potentially wait for completion of a request that will
never happen.

Fix this by adding a new poll return state, IOU_POLL_REISSUE. Rather
than have complicated logic for how to re-arm a given type of request,
just punt it for a reissue.

While in there, move the 'ret' variable to the only section where it
gets used. This avoids confusion the scope of it.

If we don't, then we may lose access to it completely, leading to a
request leak. This will eventually stall the ring exit process as
well.

Don't try to complete requests if their refs are broken and we've got
a warning, it's much better to drop them and potentially leaking than
double freeing.

The fast path in io_poll_check_events() is when we have only one
(i.e. master) reference. Move all verification, cancellations
checks, edge case handling and so on under a common if.

There is an interesting race condition of poll_refs which could result
in a NULL pointer dereference. The crash trace is like:

io_poll_check_events() when cocurrently run with poll cancel routine
io_poll_cancel_req().

By looking up the source code and communicating with Pavel, the
implementation of this atomic poll refs should continue the loop of
io_poll_check_events() just to avoid somewhere else to grab the
ownership. Therefore, this patch simply adds another AND operation to
make sure the loop will stop if it finds the poll_refs is exactly equal
to IO_POLL_CANCEL_FLAG. Since io_poll_cancel_req() grabs ownership and
will finally make its way to io_req_complete_failed(), the req will
be reclaimed as expected.

<title>io_uring: make poll refs more robust</title>

poll_refs carry two functions, the first is ownership over the request.
The second is notifying the io_poll_check_events() that there was an
event but wake up couldn't grab the ownership, so io_poll_check_events()
should retry.

We want to make poll_refs more robust against overflows. Instead of
always incrementing it, which covers two purposes with one atomic, check
if poll_refs is elevated enough and if so set a retry flag without
attempts to grab ownership. The gap between the bias check and following
atomics may seem racy, but we don't need it to be strict. Moreover there
might only be maximum 4 parallel updates: by the first and the second
poll entries, __io_arm_poll_handler() and cancellation. From those four,
only poll wake ups may be executed multiple times, but they're protected
by a spin.
