io_uring/filetable: clamp alloc_hint to the configured alloc range

2026-03-04T12:21:56Z

[ Upstream commit a6bded921ed35f21b3f6bd8e629bf488499ca442 ] Explicit fixed file install/remove operations on slots outside the configured alloc range can corrupt alloc_hint via io_file_bitmap_set() and io_file_bitmap_clear(), which unconditionally update alloc_hint to the bit position. This causes subsequent auto-allocations to fall outside the configured range. For example, if the alloc range is [10, 20) and a file is removed at slot 2, alloc_hint gets set to 2. The next auto-alloc then starts searching from slot 2, potentially returning a slot below the range. Fix this by clamping alloc_hint to [file_alloc_start, file_alloc_end) at the top of io_file_bitmap_get() before starting the search.

io_uring/net: don't continue send bundle if poll was required for retry

2026-03-04T12:21:50Z

[ Upstream commit 806ae939c41e5da1d94a1e2b31f5702e96b6c3e3 ] If a send bundle has picked a bunch of buffers, then it needs to send all of those to be complete. This may require poll arming, if the send buffer ends up being full. Once a send bundle has been poll armed, no further bundles should be attempted. This allows a current bundle to complete even though it needs to go through polling to do so, but it will not allow another bundle to be started once that has happened. Ideally we would abort a bundle if it was only partially sent, but as some parts of it already went out on the wire, this obviously isn't feasible. Not continuing more bundle attempts post encountering a full socket buffer is the second best thing.

io_uring/cancel: de-unionize file and user_data in struct io_cancel_data

2026-03-04T12:20:34Z

[ Upstream commit 22dbb0987bd1e0ec3b1e4ad20756a98f99aa4a08 ] By having them share the same space in struct io_cancel_data, it ends up disallowing IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_FD|IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_USERDATA from working. Eg you cannot match on both a file and user_data for cancelation purposes. This obviously isn't a common use case as nobody has reported this, but it does result in -ENOENT potentially being returned when trying to match on both, rather than actually doing what the API says it would.

io_uring: use release-acquire ordering for IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED

This means they may race with the assignment to ctx->submitter_task and the clearing of IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED from ctx->flags in io_register_enable_rings().

io_uring/rw: recycle buffers manually for non-mshot reads

2026-02-12T12:14:56Z

Commit d8e1dec2f860ee40623609aa6c4f22e1ee45605d upstream. The mshot side of reads already does this, but the regular read path does not. This leads to needing recycling checks sprinkled in various spots in the "go async" path, like arming poll. In preparation for getting rid of those, ensure that read recycles appropriately.

io_uring/io-wq: check IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT inside work run loop

2026-01-30T09:28:41Z

commit 10dc959398175736e495f71c771f8641e1ca1907 upstream. Currently this is checked before running the pending work. Normally this is quite fine, as work items either end up blocking (which will create a new worker for other items), or they complete fairly quickly. But syzbot reports an issue where io-wq takes seemingly forever to exit, and with a bit of debugging, this turns out to be because it queues a bunch of big (2GB - 4096b) reads with a /dev/msr* file. Since this file type doesn't support ->read_iter(), loop_rw_iter() ends up handling them. Each read returns 16MB of data read, which takes 20 (!!) seconds. With a bunch of these pending, processing the whole chain can take a long time. Easily longer than the syzbot uninterruptible sleep timeout of 140 seconds. This then triggers a complaint off the io-wq exit path: INFO: task syz.4.135:6326 blocked for more than 143 seconds. Not tainted syzkaller #0 Blocked by coredump.

However, we can speed up the exit by checking the IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT inside the io_worker_handle_work() loop, as syzbot will exit the ring after queueing up all of these reads. Then once the first item is processed, io-wq will simply cancel the rest. That should avoid syzbot running into this complaint again.

io_uring: move local task_work in exit cancel loop

2026-01-23T10:18:42Z

commit da579f05ef0faada3559e7faddf761c75cdf85e1 upstream. With IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN, task work is queued to ctx->work_llist (local work) rather than the fallback list. During io_ring_exit_work(), io_move_task_work_from_local() was called once before the cancel loop, moving work from work_llist to fallback_llist. However, task work can be added to work_llist during the cancel loop itself. There are two cases: 1) io_kill_timeouts() is called from io_uring_try_cancel_requests() to cancel pending timeouts, and it adds task work via io_req_queue_tw_complete() for each cancelled timeout: 2) URING_CMD requests like ublk can be completed via io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task() from ublk_queue_rq() during canceling, given ublk request queue is only quiesced when canceling the 1st uring_cmd. Since io_allowed_defer_tw_run() returns false in io_ring_exit_work() (kworker != submitter_task), io_run_local_work() is never invoked, and the work_llist entries are never processed. This causes io_uring_try_cancel_requests() to loop indefinitely, resulting in 100% CPU usage in kworker threads. Fix this by moving io_move_task_work_from_local() inside the cancel loop, ensuring any work on work_llist is moved to fallback before each cancel attempt.

io_uring: fix min_wait wakeups for SQPOLL

2026-01-08T09:14:25Z

Commit e15cb2200b934e507273510ba6bc747d5cde24a3 upstream. Using min_wait, two timeouts are given: 1) The min_wait timeout, within which up to 'wait_nr' events are waited for. 2) The overall long timeout, which is entered if no events are generated in the min_wait window. If the min_wait has expired, any event being posted must wake the task. For SQPOLL, that isn't the case, as it won't trigger the io_has_work() condition, as it will have already processed the task_work that happened when an event was posted. This causes any event to trigger post the min_wait to not always cause the waiting application to wakeup, and instead it will wait until the overall timeout has expired. This can be shown in a test case that has a 1 second min_wait, with a 5 second overall wait, even if an event triggers after 1.5 seconds: axboe@m2max-kvm /d/iouring-mre (master)> zig-out/bin/iouring info: MIN_TIMEOUT supported: true, features: 0x3ffff info: Testing: min_wait=1000ms, timeout=5s, wait_nr=4 info: 1 cqes in 5000.2ms where the expected result should be: axboe@m2max-kvm /d/iouring-mre (master)> zig-out/bin/iouring info: MIN_TIMEOUT supported: true, features: 0x3ffff info: Testing: min_wait=1000ms, timeout=5s, wait_nr=4 info: 1 cqes in 1500.3ms When the min_wait timeout triggers, reset the number of completions needed to wake the task. This should ensure that any future events will wake the task, regardless of how many events it originally wanted to wait for.

io_uring/poll: correctly handle io_poll_add() return value on update

2026-01-08T09:14:25Z

Commit 84230ad2d2afbf0c44c32967e525c0ad92e26b4e upstream. When the core of io_uring was updated to handle completions consistently and with fixed return codes, the POLL_REMOVE opcode with updates got slightly broken. If a POLL_ADD is pending and then POLL_REMOVE is used to update the events of that request, if that update causes the POLL_ADD to now trigger, then that completion is lost and a CQE is never posted. Additionally, ensure that if an update does cause an existing POLL_ADD to complete, that the completion value isn't always overwritten with -ECANCELED. For that case, whatever io_poll_add() set the value to should just be retained.
