Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: consistently use rcu semantics with sqpoll thread
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 12:30:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250610193028.2032495-1-kbusch@meta.com> (raw)
From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>
It is already dereferenced with rcu read protection, so it needs to be
annotated as such, and consistently use rcu helpers for access and
assignment.
Fixes: ac0b8b327a5677d ("io_uring: fix use-after-free of sq->thread in __io_uring_show_fdinfo()")
Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>
