Subject: [PATCH 04/10] io_uring: free XArray nodes left by a failed store
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 10:46:52 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028164732.1264069-5-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028164732.1264069-1-axboe@kernel.dk>

From: Chris Mason <mason@kernel.org>

A failed xa_store() can leave nodes without entries in the tree, and
erasing every entry doesn't free those. An XArray needs xa_destroy()
before it goes away, even an empty one. That was dropped for tctx->xa in
commit ca6484cd308a ("io_uring: no need to call xa_destroy() on empty
xarray") over a lockdep report from freeing the tctx in softirq context,
and ctx->personalities never had it.

Now that the nodes are charged, a store can fail at memory.max and the
leaked nodes stay charged. Call xa_destroy() in io_uring_clean_tctx(),
which the task runs itself in process context before the tctx is freed,
in the error path of __io_uring_add_tctx_node(), and for
ctx->personalities in io_ring_ctx_free().

Fixes: ca6484cd308a ("io_uring: no need to call xa_destroy() on empty xarray")
