[PATCH 5.12 359/384] io_uring: remove extra sqpoll submission halting

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 10 2021 - 08:50:53 EST


From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 3b763ba1c77da5806e4fdc5684285814fe970c98 upstream.

SQPOLL task won't submit requests for a context that is currently dying,
so no need to remove ctx from sqd_list prior the main loop of
io_ring_exit_work(). Kill it, will be removed by io_sq_thread_finish()
and only brings confusion and lockups.
