Subject: [PATCH liburing 2/2] test/recv-msgall-stream: Preserve msghdr until op_recvmsg completes
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 14:17:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722181710.79099-3-krisman@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722181710.79099-1-krisman@suse.de>

msghdr is allocated on the stack at recv_prep, which means it may go out
of scope before the kernel has a chance to complete the operation.  This
results in spurious test failures when we reach far enough into recv_fn
to reuse the stack space before op_recvmsg executes.  I found it easily
reproducible when compiling with '-O0 -g3' to avoid gcc from optimizing
further local variables out of the stack.
