[PATCH] io_uring/rsrc: require cloned buffers to share accounting contexts

[PATCH] io_uring/rsrc: require cloned buffers to share accounting contexts

[Jann Horn]

When IORING_REGISTER_CLONE_BUFFERS is used to clone buffers from uring
instance A to uring instance B, where A and B use different MMs for
accounting, the accounting can go wrong:
If uring instance A is closed before uring instance B, the pinned memory
counters for uring instance B will be decremented, even though the pinned
memory was originally accounted through uring instance A; so the MM of
uring instance B can end up with negative locked memory.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAG48ez1zez4bdhmeGLEFxtbFADY4Czn3CV0u9d_TMcbvRA01bg@mail.gmail.com
Fixes: 7cc2a6eadcd7 ("io_uring: add IORING_REGISTER_COPY_BUFFERS method")
Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>

To be clear, I think this is a very minor issue, feel free to take your
time landing it.

I put a stable marker on this, but I'm ambivalent about whether this
issue even warrants landing a fix in stable - feel free to remove the
Cc stable marker if you think it's unnecessary.

I'll just queue it up for 6.14. Let's just get it towards stable, if
nothing else it provides consistent behavior across kernels. IMHO that's
enough reason to move it to stable.
