Subject: [PATCH 7.2 55/88] io_uring: dont pass restart error codes to userspace
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 18:00:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028165943.407156486@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028165942.107695352@linuxfoundation.org>

7.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>

Commit e1a64bc64897f4c2fe460922c345f2ed8f889b5f upstream.

-ERESTARTSYS and friends are instructions for the system call exit code,
which either restarts the call or turns them into -EINTR. They are not
supposed to be seen by applications. A request isn't a system call,
nobody looks at what it returns before that is put into a CQE.

The read/write and the networking opcodes convert these codes to -EINTR
by hand. The others don't. An io-wq worker that is blocked in the open of
a FIFO, a tty or some other device, or in a splice from an empty pipe,
and that gets interrupted because the request is cancelled, completes it
with -512:

  IORING_OP_OPENAT, IOSQE_ASYNC       // FIFO without a writer
  IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL              // -EALREADY, worker is signalled
  CQE of the open: res == -512

There are more candidates, like whatever a file system or driver returns
from ->flush(), ->fsync(), ->fallocate() or ->uring_cmd(), or breaking a
lease or delegation.

Take care of it in io_issue_sqe(), which all of them go through. The
helper is moved from rw.c as is. The cost is a compare and a branch that
is not taken per request.
