[PATCH 6.12.y] io_uring/poll: fix multishot recv missing EOF on wakeup race

[PATCH 6.12.y] io_uring/poll: fix multishot recv missing EOF on wakeup race

[Kai Aizen]

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

[ Upstream commit a68ed2df72131447d131531a08fe4dfcf4fa4653 ]

When a socket send and shutdown() happen back-to-back, both fire
wake-ups before the receiver's task_work has a chance to run. The first
wake gets poll ownership (poll_refs=1), and the second bumps it to 2.
When io_poll_check_events() runs, it calls io_poll_issue() which does a
recv that reads the data and returns IOU_RETRY. The loop then drains all
accumulated refs (atomic_sub_return(2) -> 0) and exits, even though only
the first event was consumed. Since the shutdown is a persistent state
change, no further wakeups will happen, and the multishot recv can hang
forever.

Check specifically for HUP in the poll loop, and ensure that another
loop is done to check for status if more than a single poll activation
is pending. This ensures we don't lose the shutdown event.

Backport notes for linux-6.12.y:
  - The do-while body in 6.12.y already places `v &= IO_POLL_REF_MASK;`
    just before the while-condition; the upstream patch moves it
    earlier so that `v != 1` in the HUP check refers to the ref-count
    only.  The backport does the same.
  - io_poll_issue takes `ts` (struct io_tw_state *) here.

[PATCH 6.6.y] io_uring/poll: fix multishot recv missing EOF on wakeup race

[Kai Aizen]

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

[ Upstream commit a68ed2df72131447d131531a08fe4dfcf4fa4653 ]

Backport notes for linux-6.6.y:
  - In 6.6.y the do-while masks v in the while-condition itself
    (`atomic_sub_return(v & IO_POLL_REF_MASK, ...) & IO_POLL_REF_MASK`),
    so v can carry IO_POLL_RETRY_FLAG / IO_POLL_CANCEL_FLAG bits when
    we reach the multishot branch.  The HUP check therefore compares
    `(v & IO_POLL_REF_MASK) != 1` rather than the upstream
    `v != 1`, to avoid reacting to flag bits.
  - io_poll_issue takes `ts` (struct io_tw_state *) here.

[PATCH stable] io_uring/poll: ensure EPOLL_ONESHOT is propagated for EPOLL_URING_WAKE

[Kai Aizen]

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

[ Upstream commit 1967f0b1cafdde37aa9e08e6021c14bcc484b7a5 ]

Commit aacf2f9f382c ("io_uring: fix req->apoll_events") addressed
synchronization issues between poll->events and req->apoll_events.
However, a subsequent commit failed to maintain this consistency in the
EPOLL_URING_WAKE code path.

The patch ensures that when EPOLLONESHOT is set during regular
EPOLL_URING_WAKE handling, it's applied to both poll->events and
req->apoll_events. This prevents a condition where "IORING_CQE_F_MORE
is set in the previous CQE, while no more CQEs will be generated for
this request."

Backport notes:
  This patch applies cleanly and identically to linux-6.18.y,
  linux-6.12.y, linux-6.6.y, and linux-6.1.y.  The io_poll_wake()
  EPOLL_URING_WAKE branch is byte-identical to the upstream pre-patch
  state across all four trees.

OK with me, thanks.

First of all, I'm fine backporting these. But:

> CVE: CVE-2026-23473

How on earth is this a CVE?! That's bogus. Yes it violates application
expectations, it'll wait on a CQE it won't get, potentially. But this is
the only side effect. That is NOT a CVE. Greg, please retract that.
