io_uring: fix mis-refcounting linked timeouts
io_prep_linked_timeout() sets REQ_F_LINK_TIMEOUT altering refcounting of the following linked request. After that someone should call io_queue_linked_timeout(), otherwise a submission reference of the linked timeout won't be ever dropped. That's what happens in io_steal_work() if io-wq decides to postpone linked request with io_wqe_enqueue(). io_queue_linked_timeout() can also be potentially called twice without synchronisation during re-submission, e.g. io_rw_resubmit(). There are the rules, whoever did io_prep_linked_timeout() must also call io_queue_linked_timeout(). To not do it twice, io_prep_linked_timeout() will return non NULL only for the first call. That's controlled by REQ_F_LINK_TIMEOUT flag. Also kill REQ_F_QUEUE_TIMEOUT. Signed-off-by: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
