Hello io-uring maintainers/developers,

This is a 30-day syzbot report for the io-uring subsystem.
All related reports/information can be found at:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/upstream/s/io-uring

During the period, 5 new issues were detected and 0 were fixed.
In total, 49 issues are still open and 105 have been fixed so far.

Some of the still happening issues:

These two are not io_uring. Particularly for the latter, I think syzbot
has a tendency to guess it's io_uring if any kind of task_work is
involved. That means anything off fput ends up in that bucket. Can we
get that improved please?

Sure, I'll update the rules and rerun the subsystem recognition.

Currently syzbot sets io_uring if at least one is true
a) The crash stack trace points to the io_uring sources (according to
MAINTAINERS)
b) At least one reproducer has the syz_io_uring_setup call (that's a
helper function that's part of syzkaller).

In general syzbot tries to minimize the reproducer, but unfortunately
sometimes there remain some calls, which are not necessary per se. It
definitely tried to get rid of them, but the reproducer was just not
working with those calls cut out. Maybe they were just somehow
affecting the global state and in the execution log there didn't exist
any other call candidates, which could have fulfilled the purpose just
as well.

I can update b) to "all reproducers have syz_io_uring_setup". Then
those two bugs won't match the criteria.
If it doesn't suffice and there are still too many false positives, I
can drop b) completely.

By the way, should F: fs/io-wq.c also be added to the IO_URING's
record in the MAINTAINERS file?

Whatever cuts down on the noise is good with me. Not sure how 38 above
got lumped in? Maybe someone else did syz_io_uring_setup at some point?

I think you're looking at a really old tree, none of the supported
stable trees even have any io_uring code in fs/ anymore. Maybe they need
a MAINTAINERS update though? But even 5.10-stable has io-wq included,
though it's pointing at the wrong path now...

Thanks for getting syzbot to classify reports by subsystem and send these
reminders!  These should be very helpful over time.

One thing that is missing in these reminders is a mention of how to change the
subsystem of miscategorized bugs.  Yes, it's in https://goo.gl/tpsmEJ halfway
down the page, but it's not obvious.

I think adding something like "See https://goo.gl/tpsmEJ#subsystems for how to
change the subsystem of miscategorized reports" would be helpful.  Probably not
in all syzbot emails, but just in these remainder emails.

I did go poke, it is listed off the reports too. But it'd be really
handy if you could do this on the web page. When I see a report like
that that's not for me, I just archive it. And like any chatter with
syzbot, I have to look up what to reply to it every time. It'd be a lot
easy if I could just click on that page to either mark as invalid
(providing the info there) or move it to another subsystem.

Well, one problem that syzbot has to deal with is that to meet the kernel
community's needs, it can't require authentication to issue commands.

I understand that the current email-only interface, where all commands are Cc'ed
to the syzkaller-bug mailing list, makes that not a complete disaster currently.

I'd imagine that if anyone could just go to a web page and mess around with bug
statuses with no authentication, that might be more problematic.

What prevents anyone from just sending an email to the syzbot issue email
and modifying it?

I love using email as it's easier when you're replying anyway, but the
problem is that I can never remember the magic incantations that I need
to send it. So I invariably click the link ANYWAY to find out what to
reply, and now it's more hassle using email. Maybe we can solve this by
making the email footer actually contain the common responses? Then
I would not have to click, switch desktops, scroll to find, copy part
of it, switch desktops, paste into email, open terminal to generate
the rest, switch back to email, paste in, click send. It really isn't
a very pleasurable experience.

Ah, sorry, I was indeed looking at an old crash report.

That makes sense, thanks!
FWIW We can also add a subsystem-changing command that could be sent
just as a reply to such reminder email, so that there's no need to go
to the per-bug threads.

Thanks for the feedback and the idea!
It would indeed be much easier if we listed some sample commands at the bottom.
