Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/rw: free potentially allocated iovec on cache put failure
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 20:15:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d98a65d5-3881-4029-8c2c-bc2dfb34c18e@kernel.dk> (raw)

If a read/write request goes through io_req_rw_cleanup() and has an
allocated iovec attached and fails to put to the rw_cache, then it may
end up with an unaccounted iovec pointer. Have io_rw_recycle() return
whether it recycled the request or not, and use that to gauge whether to
free a potential iovec or not.
