Eric Biggers e4d19740bc aio: keep poll requests on waitqueue until completed 
commit 363bee27e2 upstream.

Currently, aio_poll_wake() will always remove the poll request from the
waitqueue.  Then, if aio_poll_complete_work() sees that none of the
polled events are ready and the request isn't cancelled, it re-adds the
request to the waitqueue.  (This can easily happen when polling a file
that doesn't pass an event mask when waking up its waitqueue.)

This is fundamentally broken for two reasons:

  1. If a wakeup occurs between vfs_poll() and the request being
     re-added to the waitqueue, it will be missed because the request
     wasn't on the waitqueue at the time.  Therefore, IOCB_CMD_POLL
     might never complete even if the polled file is ready.

  2. When the request isn't on the waitqueue, there is no way to be
     notified that the waitqueue is being freed (which happens when its
     lifetime is shorter than the struct file's).  This is supposed to
     happen via the waitqueue entries being woken up with POLLFREE.

Therefore, leave the requests on the waitqueue until they are actually
completed (or cancelled).  To keep track of when aio_poll_complete_work
needs to be scheduled, use new fields in struct poll_iocb.  Remove the
'done' field which is now redundant.

Note that this is consistent with how sys_poll() and eventpoll work;
their wakeup functions do *not* remove the waitqueue entries.

README 

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.
