Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/kbuf: check if target buffer list is still legacy on recycle
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 09:02:46 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dc1ec0a6-9697-4d94-9bdf-a091da29c77c@kernel.dk> (raw)

There's a gap between when the buffer was grabbed and when it
potentially gets recycled, where if the list is empty, someone could've
upgraded it to a ring provided type. This can happen if the request
is forced via io-wq. The legacy recycling is missing checking if the
buffer_list still exists, and if it's of the correct type. Add those
checks.
