Subject: [PATCH 0/2] linux-aio: fix unbalanced plugged counter in laio_io_unplug()
Date: Thu,  9 Jun 2022 17:47:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220609164712.1539045-1-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)

An unlucky I/O pattern can result in stalled Linux AIO requests when the
plugged counter becomes unbalanced. See Patch 1 for details.

Patch 2 adds a comment to explain why the laio_io_unplug() even checks max
batch in the first place.
