Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
There is a case I'm not sure about, but which bothers me.
What would happen, if we try to use io_uring with offloading (i.e.
IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL), after its creator is gone? The thing is that
io_sq_thread() is getting mm by using ctx->sqo_mm, which is current->mm
of the creator process, which potentially may be released.
The case in mind:
let: @parent has a @child process
@child:
uring_fd = io_uring_create(IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL)
pass_fd_via_pipe(uring_fd, to=@parent);
exit()
@parent:
uring_fd = get_fd_from_pipe()
wait(@child)
sqe = create_sqe_which_needs_mm();
io_submit_sqe(uring_fd, sqe)
// io_uring tries to grab mm of @child, which is gone.
What do you think?
