Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/net: punt IORING_OP_BIND async if it needs file create
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 10:37:44 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <37dbe977-6d1f-401e-b1dc-5d448ea27a8c@kernel.dk> (raw)

For two reasons:

1) An opcode cannot block inside io_uring_enter() doing submissions, as
   it'll stall the submission side pipeline.

2) Ending up in sb_start_write() -> __sb_start_write() ->
   percpu_down_read_freezable() introduces a new lockdep edge, which it
   correctly complains about.

Check if the socket type is AF_UNIX and has a non-empty pathname. If it
does, mark it REQ_F_FORCE_ASYNC to punt the submission to io-wq rather
than attempt to do it inline.

Fixes: 7481fd93fa0a ("io_uring: Introduce IORING_OP_BIND")
