Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] io_uring: require 3 free CQ slots for 32b CQE in io_fill_nop_cqe()
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 06:35:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924063525.2500081-3-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924063525.2500081-1-benquike@gmail.com>

When io_cqe_cache_refill() is called for a 32-byte CQE at the last slot
of an IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED ring (off + 1 == ctx->cq_entries),
io_fill_nop_cqe() writes an IORING_CQE_F_SKIP CQE at the last slot and
increments cached_cq_tail, consuming 1 free slot, after which the 32-byte
CQE itself requires 2 more contiguous free slots at index 0.

Currently, io_fill_nop_cqe() only checks io_cqring_queued(ctx) <
ctx->cq_entries (free >= 1). When free is 1 or 2, io_fill_nop_cqe()
succeeds and increments cached_cq_tail for the skip CQE, and then
io_cqe_cache_refill() computes len = min(free, ctx->cq_entries - off) < 2
and returns false because len < (cqe32 + 1). This leaves an orphan skip
CQE in the ring with cached_cq_tail already incremented while the 32-byte
CQE is deferred to cq_overflow_list.

Require at least 3 free slots (io_cqring_queued(ctx) + 3 <=
ctx->cq_entries) in io_fill_nop_cqe() before emitting the skip CQE.

Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 on a 4-entry IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED
ring with 2 queued CQEs (head = 1, tail = 3, free = 2, off = 3) followed
by a 32-byte NOP (IORING_NOP_CQE32): on the unfixed kernel cq_tail
advances to 4 due to the orphan skip CQE while the 32-byte CQE overflows,
whereas with the fix applied cq_tail remains at 3 and both slots remain
consistent.
