There is a hang issue while using fio to do some basic test. The issue
can be easily reproduced using the below script:
while true
do
fio --ioengine=io_uring -rw=write -bs=4k -numjobs=1 \
-size=1G -iodepth=64 -name=uring --filename=/dev/zero
done
After several minutes (or more), fio would block at
io_uring_enter->io_cqring_wait in order to waiting for previously
committed sqes to be completed and can't return to user anymore until
we send a SIGTERM to fio. After receiving SIGTERM, fio hangs at
io_ring_ctx_wait_and_kill with a backtrace like this:
As atomic_ops.rst states, atomic_read does not guarantee that the
runtime modification by any other thread is visible yet, so we must take
care of that with a proper implicit or explicit memory barrier.
