io_uring: fix filename leak in __io_openat_prep()

2026-01-19T12:11:51Z

commit b14fad555302a2104948feaff70503b64c80ac01 upstream. __io_openat_prep() allocates a struct filename using getname(). However, for the condition of the file being installed in the fixed file table as well as having O_CLOEXEC flag set, the function returns early. At that point, the request doesn't have REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP flag set. Due to this, the memory for the newly allocated struct filename is not cleaned up, causing a memory leak. Fix this by setting the REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP for the request just after the successful getname() call, so that when the request is torn down, the filename will be cleaned up, along with other resources needing cleanup.

io_uring: fix possible deadlock in io_register_iowq_max_workers()

2024-11-17T13:59:39Z

commit 73254a297c2dd094abec7c9efee32455ae875bdf upstream. The io_register_iowq_max_workers() function calls io_put_sq_data(), which acquires the sqd->lock without releasing the uring_lock. Similar to the commit 009ad9f0c6ee ("io_uring: drop ctx->uring_lock before acquiring sqd->lock"), this can lead to a potential deadlock situation. To resolve this issue, the uring_lock is released before calling io_put_sq_data(), and then it is re-acquired after the function call. This change ensures that the locks are acquired in the correct order, preventing the possibility of a deadlock.

io_uring/rw: fix missing NOWAIT check for O_DIRECT start write

2024-11-17T13:59:37Z

Commit 1d60d74e852647255bd8e76f5a22dc42531e4389 upstream. When io_uring starts a write, it'll call kiocb_start_write() to bump the super block rwsem, preventing any freezes from happening while that write is in-flight. The freeze side will grab that rwsem for writing, excluding any new writers from happening and waiting for existing writes to finish. But io_uring unconditionally uses kiocb_start_write(), which will block if someone is currently attempting to freeze the mount point. This causes a deadlock where freeze is waiting for previous writes to complete, but the previous writes cannot complete, as the task that is supposed to complete them is blocked waiting on starting a new write. This results in the following stuck trace showing that dependency with the write blocked starting a new write: task:fio state:D stack:0 pid:886 tgid:886 ppid:876 Call trace: __switch_to+0x1d8/0x348 __schedule+0x8e8/0x2248 schedule+0x110/0x3f0 percpu_rwsem_wait+0x1e8/0x3f8 __percpu_down_read+0xe8/0x500 io_write+0xbb8/0xff8 io_issue_sqe+0x10c/0x1020 io_submit_sqes+0x614/0x2110 __arm64_sys_io_uring_enter+0x524/0x1038 invoke_syscall+0x74/0x268 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x160/0x238 do_el0_svc+0x44/0x60 el0_svc+0x44/0xb0 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x118/0x128 el0t_64_sync+0x168/0x170 INFO: task fsfreeze:7364 blocked for more than 15 seconds.

For normal issue where IOCB_NOWAIT would always be set, this returns -EAGAIN which will have io_uring core issue a blocking attempt of the write. That will in turn also get completions run, ensuring forward progress. Since freezing requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the first place, this isn't something that can be triggered by a regular user.

io_uring/sqpoll: close race on waiting for sqring entries

2024-10-22T13:39:26Z

commit 28aabffae6be54284869a91cd8bccd3720041129 upstream. When an application uses SQPOLL, it must wait for the SQPOLL thread to consume SQE entries, if it fails to get an sqe when calling io_uring_get_sqe(). It can do so by calling io_uring_enter(2) with the flag value of IORING_ENTER_SQ_WAIT. In liburing, this is generally done with io_uring_sqring_wait(). There's a natural expectation that once this call returns, a new SQE entry can be retrieved, filled out, and submitted. However, the kernel uses the cached sq head to determine if the SQRING is full or not. If the SQPOLL thread is currently in the process of submitting SQE entries, it may have updated the cached sq head, but not yet committed it to the SQ ring. Hence the kernel may find that there are SQE entries ready to be consumed, and return successfully to the application. If the SQPOLL thread hasn't yet committed the SQ ring entries by the time the application returns to userspace and attempts to get a new SQE, it will fail getting a new SQE. Fix this by having io_sqring_full() always use the user visible SQ ring head entry, rather than the internally cached one.

io_uring/sqpoll: do not put cpumask on stack

commit 7f44beadcc11adb98220556d2ddbe9c97aa6d42d upstream. Putting the cpumask on the stack is deprecated for a long time (since 2d3854a37e8), as these can be big. Given that, change the on-stack allocation of allowed_mask to be dynamically allocated.

io_uring/sqpoll: retain test for whether the CPU is valid

2024-10-22T13:39:25Z

commit a09c17240bdf2e9fa6d0591afa9448b59785f7d4 upstream. A recent commit ensured that SQPOLL cannot be setup with a CPU that isn't in the current tasks cpuset, but it also dropped testing whether the CPU is valid in the first place. Without that, if a task passes in a CPU value that is too high, the following KASAN splat can get triggered: BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in io_sq_offload_create+0x858/0xaa4 Read of size 8 at addr ffff800089bc7b90 by task wq-aff.t/1391 CPU: 4 UID: 1000 PID: 1391 Comm: wq-aff.t Not tainted 6.11.0-rc7-00227-g371c468f4db6 #7080 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace.part.0+0xcc/0xe0 show_stack+0x14/0x1c dump_stack_lvl+0x58/0x74 print_report+0x16c/0x4c8 kasan_report+0x9c/0xe4 __asan_report_load8_noabort+0x1c/0x24 io_sq_offload_create+0x858/0xaa4 io_uring_setup+0x1394/0x17c4 __arm64_sys_io_uring_setup+0x6c/0x180 invoke_syscall+0x6c/0x260 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x158/0x224 do_el0_svc+0x3c/0x5c el0_svc+0x34/0x70 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x118/0x124 el0t_64_sync+0x168/0x16c The buggy address belongs to stack of task wq-aff.t/1391 and is located at offset 48 in frame: io_sq_offload_create+0x0/0xaa4 This frame has 1 object: [32, 40) 'allowed_mask' The buggy address belongs to the virtual mapping at [ffff800089bc0000, ffff800089bc9000) created by: kernel_clone+0x124/0x7e0 The buggy address belongs to the physical page: page: refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0xffff0000d740af80 pfn:0x11740a memcg:ffff0000c2706f02 flags: 0xbffe00000000000(node=0|zone=2|lastcpupid=0x1fff) raw: 0bffe00000000000 0000000000000000 dead000000000122 0000000000000000 raw: ffff0000d740af80 0000000000000000 00000001ffffffff ffff0000c2706f02 page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected Memory state around the buggy address: ffff800089bc7a80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ffff800089bc7b00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f1 f1 f1 f1 >ffff800089bc7b80: 00 f3 f3 f3 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ^ ffff800089bc7c00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f1 f1 f1 f1 ffff800089bc7c80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f3 Reported-by: kernel test robot Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202409161632.cbeeca0d-lkp@intel.com Fixes: f011c9cf04c0 ("io_uring/sqpoll: do not allow pinning outside of cpuset") Tested-by: Felix Moessbauer Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Felix Moessbauer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

io_uring/sqpoll: do not allow pinning outside of cpuset

2024-10-22T13:39:25Z

commit f011c9cf04c06f16b24f583d313d3c012e589e50 upstream. The submit queue polling threads are userland threads that just never exit to the userland. When creating the thread with IORING_SETUP_SQ_AFF, the affinity of the poller thread is set to the cpu specified in sq_thread_cpu. However, this CPU can be outside of the cpuset defined by the cgroup cpuset controller. This violates the rules defined by the cpuset controller and is a potential issue for realtime applications. In b7ed6d8ffd6 we fixed the default affinity of the poller thread, in case no explicit pinning is required by inheriting the one of the creating task. In case of explicit pinning, the check is more complicated, as also a cpu outside of the parent cpumask is allowed. We implemented this by using cpuset_cpus_allowed (that has support for cgroup cpusets) and testing if the requested cpu is in the set.

io_uring/io-wq: limit retrying worker initialisation

2024-08-19T03:41:03Z

commit 0453aad676ff99787124b9b3af4a5f59fbe808e2 upstream. If io-wq worker creation fails, we retry it by queueing up a task_work. tasK_work is needed because it should be done from the user process context. The problem is that retries are not limited, and if queueing a task_work is the reason for the failure, we might get into an infinite loop. It doesn't seem to happen now but it would with the following patch executing task_work in the freezer's loop. For now, arbitrarily limit the number of attempts to create a worker.
