Subject: [PATCHv2] io_uring: consistently use rcu semantics with sqpoll thread
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:53:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250611205343.1821117-1-kbusch@meta.com> (raw)
From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>
The sqpoll thread is dereferenced with rcu read protection in one place,
so it needs to be annotated as an __rcu type, and should consistently
use rcu helpers for access and assignment to make sparse happy.
Since most of the accesses occur under the sqd->lock, we can use
rcu_dereference_protected() without declaring an rcu read section.
Provide a simple helper to get the thread from a locked context.
Fixes: ac0b8b327a5677d ("io_uring: fix use-after-free of sq->thread in __io_uring_show_fdinfo()")
