When an application uses SQPOLL, it must wait for the SQPOLL thread to consume SQE entries, if it fails to get an sqe when calling io_uring_get_sqe(). It can do so by calling io_uring_enter(2) with the flag value of IORING_ENTER_SQ_WAIT. In liburing, this is generally done with io_uring_sqring_wait(). There's a natural expectation that once this call returns, a new SQE entry can be retrieved, filled out, and submitted. However, the kernel uses the cached sq head to determine if the SQRING is full or not. If the SQPOLL thread is currently in the process of submitting SQE entries, it may have updated the cached sq head, but not yet committed it to the SQ ring. Hence the kernel may find that there are SQE entries ready to be consumed, and return successfully to the application. If the SQPOLL thread hasn't yet committed the SQ ring entries by the time the application returns to userspace and attempts to get a new SQE, it will fail getting a new SQE. Fix this by having io_sqring_full() always use the user visible SQ ring head entry, rather than the internally cached one.

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.
