Multishot normally uses io_req_post_cqe() to post completions, but when stopping it, it may finish up with a deferred completion. This is fine, except if another multishot event triggers before the deferred completions get flushed. If this occurs, then CQEs may get reordered in the CQ ring, as new multishot completions get posted before the deferred ones are flushed. This can cause confusion on the application side, if strict ordering is required for the use case. When multishot posting via io_req_post_cqe(), flush any pending deferred completions first, if any.

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.
