Commit 43eef70e7e2ac74e7767731dd806720c7fb5e010 upstream.

io_pages_unmap() is a bit tricky in trying to figure whether the pages
were previously vmap'ed or not. In particular If there is juts one page
it belives there is no need to vunmap. Paired io_pages_map(), however,
could've failed io_mem_alloc_compound() and attempted to
io_mem_alloc_single(), which does vmap, and that leads to unpaired vmap.

The solution is to fail if io_mem_alloc_compound() can't allocate a
single page. That's the easiest way to deal with it, and those two
functions are getting removed soon, so no need to overcomplicate it.

Commit 06fe9b1df1086b42718d632aa57e8f7cd1a66a21 upstream.

If IORING_FEAT_SINGLE_MMAP is ignored, as can happen if an application
uses an ancient liburing or does setup manually, then 3 mmap's are
required to map the ring into userspace. The kernel will still have
collapsed the mappings, however userspace may ask for mapping them
individually. If so, then we should not use the full number of ring
pages, as it may exceed the partial mapping. Doing so will yield an
-EFAULT from vm_insert_pages(), as we pass in more pages than what the
application asked for.

Cap the number of pages to match what the application asked for, for
the particular mapping operation.

Commit 3ab1db3c6039e02a9deb9d5091d28d559917a645 upstream.

Rather than use remap_pfn_range() for this and manually free later,
switch to using vm_insert_pages() and have it Just Work.

If possible, allocate a single compound page that covers the range that
is needed. If that works, then we can just use page_address() on that
page. If we fail to get a compound page, allocate single pages and use
vmap() to map them into the kernel virtual address space.

This just covers the rings/sqes, the other remaining user of the mmap
remap_pfn_range() user will be converted separately. Once that is done,
we can kill the old alloc/free code.

There are reports of mariadb hangs, which is caused by a missing
barrier in the waking code resulting in waiters losing events.

The problem was introduced in a backport
3ab9326f93ec4 ("io_uring: wake up optimisations"),
and the change restores the barrier present in the original commit

Commit c9a40292a44e78f71258b8522655bffaf5753bdb upstream.

io_eventfd_do_signal() is invoked from an RCU callback, but when
dropping the reference to the io_ev_fd, it calls io_eventfd_free()
directly if the refcount drops to zero. This isn't correct, as any
potential freeing of the io_ev_fd should be deferred another RCU grace
period.

Just call io_eventfd_put() rather than open-code the dec-and-test and
free, which will correctly defer it another RCU grace period.

commit dbd2ca9367eb19bc5e269b8c58b0b1514ada9156 upstream.

task work can be executed after the task has gone through io_uring
termination, whether it's the final task_work run or the fallback path.
In this case, task work will find -&gt;io_wq being already killed and
null'ed, which is a problem if it then tries to forward the request to
io_queue_iowq(). Make io_queue_iowq() fail requests in this case.

Note that it also checks PF_KTHREAD, because the user can first close
a DEFER_TASKRUN ring and shortly after kill the task, in which case
-&gt;iowq check would race.

task work can be executed after the task has gone through io_uring
termination, whether it's the final task_work run or the fallback path.
In this case, task work will find -&gt;io_wq being already killed and
null'ed, which is a problem if it then tries to forward the request to
io_queue_iowq(). Make io_queue_iowq() fail requests in this case.

Note that it also checks PF_KTHREAD, because the user can first close
a DEFER_TASKRUN ring and shortly after kill the task, in which case
-&gt;iowq check would race.
