commit e33ac68e5e21ec1292490dfe061e75c0dbdd3bd4 upstream.

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __lock_acquire+0x370b/0x4a10 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5089

Kun Hu reports that the SQPOLL creating error path has UAF, which
happens if io_uring_alloc_task_context() fails and then io_sq_thread()
manages to run and complete before the rest of error handling code,
which means io_sq_thread_finish() is looking at already killed task.

Note that this is mostly theoretical, requiring fault injection on
the allocation side to trigger in practice.

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.

<title>io_uring/rw: treat -EOPNOTSUPP for IOCB_NOWAIT like -EAGAIN</title>

Commit c0a9d496e0fece67db777bd48550376cf2960c47 upstream.

Some file systems, ocfs2 in this case, will return -EOPNOTSUPP for
an IOCB_NOWAIT read/write attempt. While this can be argued to be
correct, the usual return value for something that requires blocking
issue is -EAGAIN.

A refactoring io_uring commit dropped calling kiocb_done() for
negative return values, which is otherwise where we already do that
transformation. To ensure we catch it in both spots, check it in
__io_read() itself as well.

side to the new io_read(). No functional changes in this patch.

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.

[ Upstream commit 7eb75ce7527129d7f1fee6951566af409a37a1c4 ]

syzbot triggered the following WARN_ON:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 16 at io_uring/tctx.c:51 __io_uring_free+0xfa/0x140 io_uring/tctx.c:51

which is the

WARN_ON_ONCE(!xa_empty(&amp;tctx-&gt;xa));

sanity check in __io_uring_free() when a io_uring_task is going through
its final put. The syzbot test case includes injecting memory allocation
failures, and it very much looks like xa_store() can fail one of its
memory allocations and end up with -&gt;head being non-NULL even though no
entries exist in the xarray.

Until this issue gets sorted out, work around it by attempting to
iterate entries in our xarray, and WARN_ON_ONCE() if one is found.

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.

commit 8d09a88ef9d3cb7d21d45c39b7b7c31298d23998 upstream.

Conditional locking is never great, in case of
__io_cqring_overflow_flush(), which is a slow path, it's not justified.
Don't handle IOPOLL separately, always grab uring_lock for overflow
flushing.

<title>io_uring/rw: fix missing NOWAIT check for O_DIRECT start write</title>

[ Upstream commit 1d60d74e852647255bd8e76f5a22dc42531e4389 ]

When io_uring starts a write, it'll call kiocb_start_write() to bump the
super block rwsem, preventing any freezes from happening while that
write is in-flight. The freeze side will grab that rwsem for writing,
excluding any new writers from happening and waiting for existing writes
to finish. But io_uring unconditionally uses kiocb_start_write(), which
will block if someone is currently attempting to freeze the mount point.
This causes a deadlock where freeze is waiting for previous writes to
complete, but the previous writes cannot complete, as the task that is
supposed to complete them is blocked waiting on starting a new write.
This results in the following stuck trace showing that dependency with
the write blocked starting a new write:

with the attempting freezer stuck trying to grab the rwsem:

 el0t_64_sync+0x168/0x170

Fix this by having the io_uring side honor IOCB_NOWAIT, and only attempt a
blocking grab of the super block rwsem if it isn't set. For normal issue
where IOCB_NOWAIT would always be set, this returns -EAGAIN which will
have io_uring core issue a blocking attempt of the write. That will in
turn also get completions run, ensuring forward progress.

Since freezing requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the first place, this isn't
something that can be triggered by a regular user.
