poll_refs carry two functions, the first is ownership over the request. The second is notifying the io_poll_check_events() that there was an event but wake up couldn't grab the ownership, so io_poll_check_events() should retry. We want to make poll_refs more robust against overflows. Instead of always incrementing it, which covers two purposes with one atomic, check if poll_refs is elevated enough and if so set a retry flag without attempts to grab ownership. The gap between the bias check and following atomics may seem racy, but we don't need it to be strict. Moreover there might only be maximum 4 parallel updates: by the first and the second poll entries, __io_arm_poll_handler() and cancellation. From those four, only poll wake ups may be executed multiple times, but they're protected by a spin.

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.
