What fs are you using? testing on a fresh XFS fs read-write.t works for
me

poll-mshot-overflow.t tests something that I changed in 5.20, but
actually I do not know if the fix should be backported. Do people have
an opinion here? The backport unfortunately looks like it might be
complex.

The test tests an edge condition with overflow and multishot polls.
Overflow will actually change the ordering of CQEs, such that you might
get a CQE without IORING_CQE_F_MORE and then later receive one with
IORING_CQE_F_MORE set.

This is a real problem for strict ordered API's like recv (which is why
I fixed it), but for poll it's unclear to me if it is a big enough
problem and needs backporting. Certainly I think it has been this way
for a long time and no one has complained?
