io_uring: use release-acquire ordering for IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED

2026-03-04T12:19:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7a8737e1132ff07ca225aa7a4008f87319b5b1ca ] io_uring_enter(), __io_msg_ring_data(), and io_msg_send_fd() read ctx->flags and ctx->submitter_task without holding the ctx's uring_lock. 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(). Ensure the correct ordering of the ctx->flags and ctx->submitter_task memory accesses by storing to ctx->flags using release ordering and loading it using acquire ordering.

io_uring: move local task_work in exit cancel loop

2026-01-23T10:18:42+00:00

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

2026-01-08T09:14:25+00:00

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/msg_ring: kill alloc_cache for io_kiocb allocations

2025-09-25T09:13:48+00:00

Commit df8922afc37aa2111ca79a216653a629146763ad upstream. A recent commit: fc582cd26e88 ("io_uring/msg_ring: ensure io_kiocb freeing is deferred for RCU") fixed an issue with not deferring freeing of io_kiocb structs that msg_ring allocates to after the current RCU grace period. But this only covers requests that don't end up in the allocation cache. If a request goes into the alloc cache, it can get reused before it is sane to do so. A recent syzbot report would seem to indicate that there's something there, however it may very well just be because of the KASAN poisoning that the alloc_cache handles manually. Rather than attempt to make the alloc_cache sane for that use case, just drop the usage of the alloc_cache for msg_ring request payload data.

io_uring: include dying ring in task_work "should cancel" state

2025-09-25T09:13:47+00:00

Commit 3539b1467e94336d5854ebf976d9627bfb65d6c3 upstream. When running task_work for an exiting task, rather than perform the issue retry attempt, the task_work is canceled. However, this isn't done for a ring that has been closed. This can lead to requests being successfully completed post the ring being closed, which is somewhat confusing and surprising to an application. Rather than just check the task exit state, also include the ring ref state in deciding whether or not to terminate a given request when run from task_work.

io_uring: consistently use rcu semantics with sqpoll thread

2025-06-19T13:32:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit c538f400fae22725580842deb2bef546701b64bd ] The sqpoll thread is dereferenced with rcu read protection in one place, so it needs to be annotated as an __rcu type, and should consistently use rcu helpers for access and assignment to make sparse happy. Since most of the accesses occur under the sqd->lock, we can use rcu_dereference_protected() without declaring an rcu read section. Provide a simple helper to get the thread from a locked context.
