Futex recently had an issue where it mishandled how ->async_data and REQ_F_ASYNC_DATA is handled. To avoid future issues like that, add a set of helpers that either clear or clear-and-free the async data assigned to a struct io_kiocb. Convert existing manual handling of that to use the helpers. No intended functional changes in this patch. Reviewed-by: Caleb Sander Mateos <csander@purestorage.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
