[PATCH] io_uring/wait: make check for pending io consider cached task references
From: Fiona Ebner
Date: Mon Apr 27 2026 - 13:00:42 EST
The io_uring task's inflight count also includes the reservations for
task references from io_task_refs_refill(), not just in-flight
requests. Thus, pending requests are present if the inflight count is
larger than the number of cached references.
