The only place where you're calling kioctx_ring_lock() is above, which
is part of an unlock/lock pair.

There is also a kioctx_ring_unlock at the end of batch_complete_aio():

But I'm not seeing a matching kioctx_ring_lock() before the while loop
in batch_complete_aio(), nor anywhere else in the file. And since
kioctx_ring_lock() is a static function....

Am I missing something?
