Pavel Begunkov 900fad45dc io_uring: fix racy REQ_F_LINK_TIMEOUT clearing
io_link_timeout_fn() removes REQ_F_LINK_TIMEOUT from the link head's
flags, it's not atomic and may race with what the head is doing.

If io_link_timeout_fn() doesn't clear the flag, as forced by this patch,
then it may happen that for "req -> link_timeout1 -> link_timeout2",
__io_kill_linked_timeout() would find link_timeout2 and try to cancel
it, so miscounting references. Teach it to ignore such double timeouts
by marking the active one with a new flag in io_prep_linked_timeout().

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.
