atomic_read(&ctx->dead) in aio_ring_remap() looks confusing. kill_ioctx() sets ctx->dead and removes ctx from ->ioctx_table "atomically" under mm->ioctx_lock, so aio_ring_remap() can never see a dead ctx.
If we really want this check, we should put it under WARN_ON() and it should not depend on aio_ring_file == file.
