From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.sile...@gmail.com> commit dfea9fce29fda6f2f91161677e0e0d9b671bc099 upstream.
The purpose of io_uring_cancel_files() is to wait for all requests matching ->files to go/be cancelled. We should first drop files of a request in io_req_drop_files() and only then make it undiscoverable for io_uring_cancel_files. First drop, then delete from list. It's ok to leave req->id->files dangling, because it's not dereferenced by cancellation code, only compared against. It would potentially go to sleep and be awaken by following in io_req_drop_files() wake_up().
