Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/rw: ensure allocated iovec gets cleared for early failure
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 14:37:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ebc2ae15-ef88-4f21-b027-dfe86a5db555@kernel.dk> (raw)
A previous commit reused the recyling infrastructure for early cleanup,
but this is not enough for the case where our internal caches have
overflowed. If this happens, then the allocated iovec can get leaked if
the request is also aborted early.
Reinstate the previous forced free of the iovec for that situation.
