If an application does O_DIRECT writes with io_uring and the file system
supports IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP, then completions of the dio write side is
done from the task_work that will post the completion event for said
write as well.
Whenever a dio write is done against a file, the inode i_dio_count is
elevated. This enables other callers to use inode_dio_wait() to wait for
previous writes to complete. If we defer the full dio completion to
task_work, we are dependent on that task_work being run before the
inode i_dio_count can be decremented.
If the same task that issues io_uring dio writes with
IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP performs a synchronous system call that calls
inode_dio_wait(), then we can deadlock as we're blocked sleeping on
the event to become true, but not processing the completions that will
result in the inode i_dio_count being decremented.
Until we can guarantee that this is the case, then disable the deferred
caller completions.

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.
