[ Upstream commit 13918315c5dc5a515926c8799042ea6885c2b734 ]

When io_uring submission goes async for the first time on a given task,
we'll try to create a worker thread to handle the submission. Creating
this worker thread can fail due to various transient conditions, such as
an outstanding signal in the forking thread, so we have retry logic with
a limit of 3 retries. However, this retry logic appears to be too
aggressive/fast - we've observed a thread blowing through the retry
limit while having the same outstanding signal the whole time. Here's an
excerpt of some tracing that demonstrates the issue:

First, signal 26 is generated for the process. It ends up getting routed
to thread 92942.

 0)   cbd-92284    /* signal_generate: sig=26 errno=0 code=-2 comm=psblkdASD pid=92934 grp=1 res=0 */

This causes create_io_thread in the signalled thread to fail with
ERESTARTNOINTR, and thus a retry is queued.

13) task_th-92942  /* io_uring_queue_async_work: ring 000000007325c9ae, request 0000000080c96d8e, user_data 0x0, opcode URING_CMD, flags 0x8240001, normal queue, work 000000006e96dd3f */
13) task_th-92942  io_wq_enqueue() {
13) task_th-92942    _raw_spin_lock();
13) task_th-92942    io_wq_activate_free_worker();
13) task_th-92942    _raw_spin_lock();
13) task_th-92942    create_io_worker() {
13) task_th-92942      __kmalloc_cache_noprof();
13) task_th-92942      __init_swait_queue_head();
13) task_th-92942      kprobe_ftrace_handler() {
13) task_th-92942        get_kprobe();
13) task_th-92942        aggr_pre_handler() {
13) task_th-92942          pre_handler_kretprobe();
13) task_th-92942          /* create_enter: (create_io_thread+0x0/0x50) fn=0xffffffff8172c0e0 arg=0xffff888996bb69c0 node=-1 */
13) task_th-92942        } /* aggr_pre_handler */
...
13) task_th-92942        } /* copy_process */
13) task_th-92942      } /* create_io_thread */
13) task_th-92942      kretprobe_rethook_handler() {
13) task_th-92942        /* create_exit: (create_io_worker+0x8a/0x1a0 &lt;- create_io_thread) arg1=0xfffffffffffffdff */
13) task_th-92942      } /* kretprobe_rethook_handler */
13) task_th-92942    queue_work_on() {
...

The CPU is then handed to a kworker to process the queued retry:

------------------------------------------
 13) task_th-92942  =&gt; kworker-54154
------------------------------------------
13) kworker-54154  io_workqueue_create() {
13) kworker-54154    io_queue_worker_create() {
13) kworker-54154      task_work_add() {
13) kworker-54154        wake_up_state() {
13) kworker-54154          try_to_wake_up() {
13) kworker-54154            _raw_spin_lock_irqsave();
13) kworker-54154            _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore();
13) kworker-54154          } /* try_to_wake_up */
13) kworker-54154        } /* wake_up_state */
13) kworker-54154        kick_process();
13) kworker-54154      } /* task_work_add */
13) kworker-54154    } /* io_queue_worker_create */
13) kworker-54154  } /* io_workqueue_create */

And then we immediately switch back to the original task to try creating
a worker again. This fails, because the original task still hasn't
handled its signal.

-----------------------------------------
 13) kworker-54154  =&gt; task_th-92942
------------------------------------------
13) task_th-92942  create_worker_cont() {
13) task_th-92942    kprobe_ftrace_handler() {
13) task_th-92942      get_kprobe();
13) task_th-92942      aggr_pre_handler() {
13) task_th-92942        pre_handler_kretprobe();
13) task_th-92942        /* create_enter: (create_io_thread+0x0/0x50) fn=0xffffffff8172c0e0 arg=0xffff888996bb69c0 node=-1 */
13) task_th-92942      } /* aggr_pre_handler */
13) task_th-92942    } /* kprobe_ftrace_handler */
13) task_th-92942    create_io_thread() {
13) task_th-92942      copy_process() {
13) task_th-92942        task_active_pid_ns();
13) task_th-92942        _raw_spin_lock_irq();
13) task_th-92942        recalc_sigpending();
13) task_th-92942        _raw_spin_lock_irq();
13) task_th-92942      } /* copy_process */
13) task_th-92942    } /* create_io_thread */
13) task_th-92942    kretprobe_rethook_handler() {
13) task_th-92942      /* create_exit: (create_worker_cont+0x35/0x1b0 &lt;- create_io_thread) arg1=0xfffffffffffffdff */
13) task_th-92942    } /* kretprobe_rethook_handler */
13) task_th-92942    io_worker_release();
13) task_th-92942    queue_work_on() {
13) task_th-92942      clear_pending_if_disabled();
13) task_th-92942      __queue_work() {
13) task_th-92942      } /* __queue_work */
13) task_th-92942    } /* queue_work_on */
13) task_th-92942  } /* create_worker_cont */

The pattern repeats another couple times until we blow through the retry
counter, at which point we give up. All outstanding work is canceled,
and the io_uring command which triggered all this is failed with
ECANCELED:

13) task_th-92942  io_acct_cancel_pending_work() {
...
13) task_th-92942  /* io_uring_complete: ring 000000007325c9ae, req 0000000080c96d8e, user_data 0x0, result -125, cflags 0x0 extra1 0 extra2 0  */

Finally, the task gets around to processing its outstanding signal 26,
but it's too late.

13) task_th-92942  /* signal_deliver: sig=26 errno=0 code=-2 sa_handler=59566a0 sa_flags=14000000 */

Try to address this issue by adding a small scaling delay when retrying
worker creation. This should give the forking thread time to handle its
signal in the above case. This isn't a particularly satisfying solution,
as sufficiently paradoxical scheduling would still have us hitting the
same issue, and I'm open to suggestions for something better. But this
is likely to prevent this (already rare) issue from hitting in practice.

[ Upstream commit 5e0e02f0d7e52cfc8b1adfc778dd02181d8b47b4 ]

futex_queue() -&gt; __futex_queue() uses 'current' as the task to store in
the struct futex_q-&gt;task field. This is fine for synchronous usage of
the futex infrastructure, but it's not always correct when used by
io_uring where the task doing the initial futex_queue() might not be
available later on. This doesn't lead to any issues currently, as the
io_uring side doesn't support PI futexes, but it does leave a
potentially dangling pointer which is never a good idea.

Have futex_queue() take a task_struct argument, and have the regular
callers pass in 'current' for that. Meanwhile io_uring can just pass in
NULL, as the task should never be used off that path. In theory
req-&gt;tctx-&gt;task could be used here, but there's no point populating it
with a task field that will never be used anyway.

commit 67b0025d19f99fb9fbb8b62e6975553c183f3a16 upstream.

At the moment we can't sanely handle queuing an async request from a
multishot context, so disable them. It shouldn't matter as pollable
files / socekts don't normally do async.

Patching it in __io_read() is not the cleanest way, but it's simpler
than other options, so let's fix it there and clean up on top.

commit 8802766324e1f5d414a81ac43365c20142e85603 upstream.

IORING_REGISTER_PBUF_RING can reuse an old struct io_buffer_list if it
was created for legacy selected buffer and has been emptied. It violates
the requirement that most of the field should stay stable after publish.
Always reallocate it instead.

<title>io_uring/uring_cmd: unconditionally copy SQEs at prep time</title>

[ Upstream commit d6211ebbdaa541af197b50b8dd8f22642ce0b87f ]

This isn't generally necessary, but conditions have been observed where
SQE data is accessed from the original SQE after prep has been done and
outside of the initial issue. Opcode prep handlers must ensure that any
SQE related data is stable beyond the prep phase, but uring_cmd is a bit
special in how it handles the SQE which makes it susceptible to reading
stale data. If the application has reused the SQE before the original
completes, then that can lead to data corruption.

Down the line we can relax this again once uring_cmd has been sanitized
a bit, and avoid unnecessarily copying the SQE.

[ Upstream commit e663da62ba8672aaa66843f1af8b20e3bb1a0515 ]

5eff57fa9f3a ("io_uring/uring_cmd: defer SQE copying until it's needed")
moved the unconditional memcpy() of the uring_cmd SQE to async_data
to 2 cases when the request goes async:
- If REQ_F_FORCE_ASYNC is set to force the initial issue to go async
- If -&gt;uring_cmd() returns -EAGAIN in the initial non-blocking issue

Unlike the REQ_F_FORCE_ASYNC case, in the EAGAIN case, io_uring_cmd()
copies the SQE to async_data but neglects to update the io_uring_cmd's
sqe field to point to async_data. As a result, sqe still points to the
slot in the userspace-mapped SQ. At the end of io_submit_sqes(), the
kernel advances the SQ head index, allowing userspace to reuse the slot
for a new SQE. If userspace reuses the slot before the io_uring worker
reissues the original SQE, the io_uring_cmd's SQE will be corrupted.

Introduce a helper io_uring_cmd_cache_sqes() to copy the original SQE to
the io_uring_cmd's async_data and point sqe there. Use it for both the
REQ_F_FORCE_ASYNC and EAGAIN cases. This ensures the uring_cmd doesn't
read from the SQ slot after it has been returned to userspace.

eaf72f7b414f ("io_uring/uring_cmd: cleanup struct io_uring_cmd_data
layout") removed most of the places assuming struct io_uring_cmd_data
has sqes as its first field. However, the EAGAIN case in io_uring_cmd()
still compares ioucmd-&gt;sqe to the struct io_uring_cmd_data pointer using
a void * cast. Since fa3595523d72 ("io_uring: get rid of alloc cache
init_once handling"), sqes is no longer io_uring_cmd_data's first field.
As a result, the pointers will always compare unequal and memcpy() may
be called with the same source and destination.

Replace the incorrect void * cast with the address of the sqes field.
