  - io_uring/cmd: don't leave list poison in ->hash_node io_uring_cmd_del_cancelable() uses hlist_del() to
    take a command off ->cancelable_uring_cmd, which leaves LIST_POISON1/2 behind in ->hash_node. Requests are
    recycled through the request cache without being reinitialised, and not every user of ->hash_node sets it
    up before it is used: If a vectored futex wait is woken while futex_wait_multiple_setup() is still
    queueing the futexes, io_futexv_wait() doesn't add the request to ->futex_list, and leaves the completion
    to the task_work queued by the wake up. io_futexv_complete() ends in __io_futex_complete(), whose
    hlist_del_init() is fine for a request that is unhashed, which is how all other users of the node leave
    it. If the request was a cancelable uring_cmd in its previous life, e.g. a ublk FETCH_REQ, it writes
    through LIST_POISON2: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address KASAN: maybe
    wild-memory-access in range [0xdead000000000120-...] RIP: 0010:io_futexv_complete+0x219/0x420 Call Trace:
