The current I/O dispatch mechanism - queueing I/O by adding it to the io_cmds list (and poking task_work as needed), then dispatching it in ublk server task context by reversing io_cmds and completing the io_uring command associated to each one - was introduced by commit7d4a93176e("ublk_drv: don't forward io commands in reserve order") to ensure that the ublk server received I/O in the same order that the block layer submitted it to ublk_drv. This mechanism was only needed for the "raw" task_work submission mechanism, since the io_uring task work wrapper maintains FIFO ordering (using quite a similar mechanism in fact). The "raw" task_work submission mechanism is no longer supported in ublk_drv as of commit29dc5d0661("ublk: kill queuing request by task_work_add"), so the explicit llist/reversal is no longer needed - it just duplicates logic already present in the underlying io_uring APIs. Remove it.

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.
