Gabriel Krisman Bertazi 068c27e32e io-wq: write next_work before dropping acct_lock
Commit 361aee450c ("io-wq: add intermediate work step between pending
list and active work") closed a race between a cancellation and the work
being removed from the wq for execution.  To ensure the request is
always reachable by the cancellation, we need to move it within the wq
lock, which also synchronizes the cancellation.  But commit
42abc95f05 ("io-wq: decouple work_list protection from the big
wqe->lock") replaced the wq lock here and accidentally reintroduced the
race by releasing the acct_lock too early.

In other words:

        worker                |     cancellation
work = io_get_next_work()     |
raw_spin_unlock(&acct->lock); |
			      |
                              | io_acct_cancel_pending_work
                              | io_wq_worker_cancel()
worker->next_work = work

Using acct_lock is still enough since we synchronize on it on
io_acct_cancel_pending_work.

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 reStructuredText 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.
