Carter reported an issue where he could produce a stall on ring exit, when we're cleaning up requests that match the given file table. For this particular test case, a combination of a few things caused the issue: - The cq ring was overflown - The request being canceled was in the overflow list The combination of the above means that the cq overflow list holds a reference to the request. The request is canceled correctly, but since the overflow list holds a reference to it, the final put won't happen. Since the final put doesn't happen, the request remains in the inflight. Hence we never finish the cancelation flush. Fix this by removing requests from the overflow list if we're canceling them.

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.
