It always succeeds?  Why bother with the ret local variable?

I'm not convinced this function works.  If the request is active in a
worker thread and paio_cancel() is called then we invoke paio_remove().

Yes, I'll remove this.

True. So can we do this: Since we have a patch which separately
removes the active field [PATCH 7/13], can we fold patch 7 and this
patch into a single patch? So that way we can maintain the
correctness, because we are actually waiting for the active work to
complete by doing a while (acb->ret == -EINPROGRESS)

Sounds good.  IIRC the paio_cancel() code in the last version of the
patch looked correct, so it probably *is* just a case of not splitting
this part up into separate patches.
