Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/filetable: clamp alloc_hint to the configured alloc range
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:19:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e2269f5c-bd17-4900-b615-392e76314f9c@kernel.dk> (raw)
Explicit fixed file install/remove operations on slots outside the
configured alloc range can corrupt alloc_hint via io_file_bitmap_set()
and io_file_bitmap_clear(), which unconditionally update alloc_hint to
the bit position. This causes subsequent auto-allocations to fall
outside the configured range.
For example, if the alloc range is [10, 20) and a file is removed at
slot 2, alloc_hint gets set to 2. The next auto-alloc then starts
searching from slot 2, potentially returning a slot below the range.
Fix this by clamping alloc_hint to [file_alloc_start, file_alloc_end)
at the top of io_file_bitmap_get() before starting the search.
