[PATCH v2] From b1014148d31468e2dcd8f237740ca1643571e875 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hao-Yu Yang <naup96721@gmail.com> Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 11:43:02 +0800 Subject: [PATCH v1] io_uring: fix dangling iovec after provided-buffer bundle grow failure

[PATCH v2] From b1014148d31468e2dcd8f237740ca1643571e875 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hao-Yu Yang <naup96721@gmail.com> Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 11:43:02 +0800 Subject: [PATCH v1] io_uring: fix dangling iovec after provided-buffer bundle grow failure

[Hao-Yu Yang]

When growing a provided-buffer bundle, the old cached iovec is freed
before the new buffers have all been validated. If validation fails, the
request still points at the freed iovec, which can be freed again during
completion cleanup.

BUG: KASAN: double-free in io_vec_free+0x2c/0x90
Freed by task 73:
 kfree+0x104/0x3b0
 io_vec_free+0x2c/0x90
 __io_submit_flush_completions+0xc03/0x1e40
 io_submit_sqes+0xdb5/0x2310

Allocated by task 73:
 io_ring_buffers_peek+0x559/0xc60
 io_buffers_select+0x1c1/0x460
 io_send+0x770/0x1050

Fix this by deferring the free of the old cached iovec until validation
has succeeded. On failure, free the newly allocated iovec and leave the
request pointing at the original one.

 v2: slimming v1 patch
