In io_read() or io_write(), when io request is submitted successfully, it'll go through the below sequence: kfree(iovec); req->flags &= ~REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP; return ret; But clearing REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP might be unsafe. The io request may already have been completed, and then io_complete_rw_iopoll() and io_complete_rw() will be called, both of which will also modify req->flags if needed. This causes a race condition, with concurrent non-atomic modification of req->flags. To eliminate this race, in io_read() or io_write(), if io request is submitted successfully, we don't remove REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP flag. If REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP is set, we'll leave __io_req_aux_free() to the iovec cleanup work correspondingly.
