I didn't run into this recently. I do remember that I wondered about a
luring_resubmit_short_read trace for one VM while looking at the
LVM+io_uring issues a year ago, but IIRC that one behaved a bit
differently - got a weird GRUB error rather than the hang reported in
the forum, which I was able to reproduce with another VM then. But maybe
this was actually the root cause for these issues? Would have to find a
reproducer again to see if the patch fixes it.

v1 of the patch mentions:

> but apparently btrfs with O_DIRECT (cache=none) does.

but might not be the only situation. I tried a bit with a VM with an
image on BTRFS, but didn't manage to have the call show up in a trace.

So I can't really tell how likely. It can happen with BTRFS, it could
happen with LVM in the past (we don't allow io_uring+LVM currently). I'd
say since there is a big unknown, it might be worth a backport.
