Subject: [PATCH] bcachefs: dio write: Take ref on mm_struct when using asynchronously
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2024 16:36:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241127213649.1615078-1-kent.overstreet@linux.dev> (raw)

When invoked from aio, mm_struct is guaranteed to outlive the request
since its lifetime is tied to the io_context - but that's not the case
for io_uring, it's possible that a process could be killed and mm_struct
goes away while a request is in flight.

So if we're submitting the rest of the io asynchronously, we may need a
ref on mm_struct.

Per Jens, this is not actually a bug because we're not yet flipping on
FMODE_NOWAIT, meaning io_uring will do the submission from an io_worker
kthread - but this patch is necessary for safely flipping on
FMODE_NOWAIT for more efficient submissions in the future.
