commit a52d4f657568d6458e873f74a9602e022afe666f upstream.

This is unionized with the actual link flags, so they can of course be
set and they will be evaluated further down. If not we fail any LINKAT
that has to set option flags.

io-wq will retry iopoll even when it failed with -EAGAIN. If that
races with task exit, which sets TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL for all its workers,
such workers might potentially infinitely spin retrying iopoll again and
again and each time failing on some allocation / waiting / etc. Don't
keep spinning if io-wq is dying.

[ upstream commit c06c6c5d276707e04cedbcc55625e984922118aa ]

This is required for the failure case (io_req_complete_failed) and is
missing.

The alternative would be to only lock in the failure path, however all of
the non-error paths in io_poll_check_events that do not do not return
IOU_POLL_NO_ACTION end up locking anyway. The only extraneous lock would
be for the multishot poll overflowing the CQE ring, however multishot poll
would probably benefit from being locked as it will allow completions to
be batched.

So it seems reasonable to lock always.

[ Upstream commit cfdbaa3a291d6fd2cb4a1a70d74e63b4abc2f5ec ]

cq_extra is protected by -&gt;completion_lock, which io_get_sqe() misses.
The bug is harmless as it doesn't happen in real life, requires invalid
SQ index array and racing with submission, and only messes up the
userspace, i.e. stall requests execution but will be cleaned up on
ring destruction.

Commit 72dbde0f2afbe4af8e8595a89c650ae6b9d9c36f upstream.

O_TMPFILE is actually __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY. This means that the old
check for whether RESOLVE_CACHED can be used would incorrectly think
that O_DIRECTORY could not be used with RESOLVE_CACHED.

Commit 7b72d661f1f2f950ab8c12de7e2bc48bdac8ed69 upstream.

A previous commit made all cqring waits marked as iowait, as a way to
improve performance for short schedules with pending IO. However, for
use cases that have a special reaper thread that does nothing but
wait on events on the ring, this causes a cosmetic issue where we
know have one core marked as being "busy" with 100% iowait.

While this isn't a grave issue, it is confusing to users. Rather than
always mark us as being in iowait, gate setting of current-&gt;in_iowait
to 1 by whether or not the waiting task has pending requests.

commit a9be202269580ca611c6cebac90eaf1795497800 upstream.

io-wq assumes that an issue is blocking, but it may not be if the
request type has asked for a non-blocking attempt. If we get
-EAGAIN for that case, then we need to treat it as a final result
and not retry or arm poll for it.

[ Upstream commit 6adc2272aaaf84f34b652cf77f770c6fcc4b8336 ]

The check being unconditional may lead to unwanted denials reported by
LSMs when a process has the capability granted by DAC, but denied by an
LSM. In the case of SELinux such denials are a problem, since they can't
be effectively filtered out via the policy and when not silenced, they
produce noise that may hide a true problem or an attack.

Since not having the capability merely means that the created io_uring
context will be accounted against the current user's RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
limit, we can disable auditing of denials for this check by using
ns_capable_noaudit() instead of capable().

Commit f58680085478dd292435727210122960d38e8014 upstream.

If CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is set and the task_work chains are long, we
could be running into issues blocking others for too long. Add a
reschedule check in handle_tw_list(), and flush the ctx if we need to
reschedule.
