Thanks Pavel

Your description is better.  I have another question: under what circumstances will three io-wq(wq1, wq2, wq3) be created to share this @hash?

This kind of problem also occurs between two io-wq(wq1, wq2). Is the following description OK？

wq1:worker2     | locks bit1
wq2:worker1     | waits bit1
wq1:worker3     | waits bit1

wq1:worker2     | completes all wq1 bit1 work items
wq1:worker2     | drop  bit1, exit and free io-wq

wq2:worker1     | locks bit1
wq1                       | free complete
wq2:worker1     | drops bit1
wq1:worker3     | waked up, even though freed
