io_req_prep_async() can import provided buffers, commit the ring state

<title>io_uring/eventfd: ensure io_eventfd_signal() defers another RCU period</title>

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 6e6b8c62120a22acd8cb759304e4cd2e3215d488 upstream.

kiocb_done() should care to specifically redirecting requests to io-wq.
Remove the hopping to tw to then queue an io-wq, return -EAGAIN and let
the core code io_uring handle offloading.

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.

<title>io_uring: Fix registered ring file refcount leak</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 12d908116f7efd34f255a482b9afc729d7a5fb78 upstream.

Currently, io_uring_unreg_ringfd() (which cleans up registered rings) is
only called on exit, but __io_uring_free (which frees the tctx in which the
registered ring pointers are stored) is also called on execve (via
begin_new_exec -&gt; io_uring_task_cancel -&gt; __io_uring_cancel -&gt;
io_uring_cancel_generic -&gt; __io_uring_free).

This means: A process going through execve while having registered rings
will leak references to the rings' `struct file`.

Fix it by zapping registered rings on execve(). This is implemented by
moving the io_uring_unreg_ringfd() from io_uring_files_cancel() into its
callee __io_uring_cancel(), which is called from io_uring_task_cancel() on
execve.

This could probably be exploited *on 32-bit kernels* by leaking 2^32
references to the same ring, because the file refcount is stored in a
pointer-sized field and get_file() doesn't have protection against
refcount overflow, just a WARN_ONCE(); but on 64-bit it should have no
impact beyond a memory leak.

<title>io_uring: fix possible deadlock in io_register_iowq_max_workers()</title>

commit 73254a297c2dd094abec7c9efee32455ae875bdf upstream.

The io_register_iowq_max_workers() function calls io_put_sq_data(),
which acquires the sqd-&gt;lock without releasing the uring_lock.
Similar to the commit 009ad9f0c6ee ("io_uring: drop ctx-&gt;uring_lock
before acquiring sqd-&gt;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.

[ Upstream commit eac2ca2d682f94f46b1973bdf5e77d85d77b8e53 ]

In terms of normal application usage, this list will always be empty.
And if an application does overflow a bit, it'll have a few entries.
However, nothing obviously prevents syzbot from running a test case
that generates a ton of overflow entries, and then flushing them can
take quite a while.

Check for needing to reschedule while flushing, and drop our locks and
do so if necessary. There's no state to maintain here as overflows
always prune from head-of-list, hence it's fine to drop and reacquire
the locks at the end of the loop.

commit 04beb6e0e08c30c6f845f50afb7d7953603d7a6f upstream.

If some part of the kernel adds task_work that needs executing, in terms
of signaling it'll generally use TWA_SIGNAL or TWA_RESUME. Those two
directly translate to TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL or TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and can
be used for a variety of use case outside of task_work.

However, io_cqring_wait_schedule() only tests explicitly for
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. This means it can miss if task_work got added for
the task, but used a different kind of signaling mechanism (or none at
all). Normally this doesn't matter as any task_work will be run once
the task exits to userspace, except if:

1) The ring is setup with DEFER_TASKRUN
2) The local work item may generate normal task_work

For condition 2, this can happen when closing a file and it's the final
put of that file, for example. This can cause stalls where a task is
waiting to make progress inside io_cqring_wait(), but there's nothing else
that will wake it up. Hence change the "should we schedule or loop around"
check to check for the presence of task_work explicitly, rather than just
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL as the mechanism. While in there, also change the
ordering of what type of task_work first in terms of ordering, to both
make it consistent with other task_work runs in io_uring, but also to
better handle the case of defer task_work generating normal task_work,
like in the above example.

commit 04beb6e0e08c30c6f845f50afb7d7953603d7a6f upstream.

If some part of the kernel adds task_work that needs executing, in terms
of signaling it'll generally use TWA_SIGNAL or TWA_RESUME. Those two
directly translate to TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL or TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and can
be used for a variety of use case outside of task_work.

However, io_cqring_wait_schedule() only tests explicitly for
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. This means it can miss if task_work got added for
the task, but used a different kind of signaling mechanism (or none at
all). Normally this doesn't matter as any task_work will be run once
the task exits to userspace, except if:

1) The ring is setup with DEFER_TASKRUN
2) The local work item may generate normal task_work

For condition 2, this can happen when closing a file and it's the final

check to check for the presence of task_work explicitly, rather than just
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL as the mechanism. While in there, also change the
ordering of what type of task_work first in terms of ordering, to both

better handle the case of defer task_work generating normal task_work,

commit f8b632e89a101dae349a7b212c1771d7925f441b upstream.

io_uring_cancel_generic() should retry if any state changes like a
request is completed, however in case of a task exit it only goes for
another loop and avoids schedule() if any tracked (i.e. REQ_F_INFLIGHT)
request got completed.

Let's assume we have a non-tracked request executing in iowq and a
tracked request linked to it. Let's also assume
io_uring_cancel_generic() fails to find and cancel the request, i.e.
via io_run_local_work(), which may happen as io-wq has gaps.
Next, the request logically completes, io-wq still hold a ref but queues
it for completion via tw, which happens in
io_uring_try_cancel_requests(). After, right before prepare_to_wait()
io-wq puts the request, grabs the linked one and tries executes it, e.g.
arms polling. Finally the cancellation loop calls prepare_to_wait(),
there are no tw to run, no tracked request was completed, so the
tctx_inflight() check passes and the task is put to indefinite sleep.
