[PATCH v1 0/7] ublk: Backport to 6.14-stable: fix race between io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task and ublk_cancel_cmd

[Jared Holzman]

This patchset backports a series of ublk fixes from upstream to 6.14-stable.

Patch 7 fixes the race that can cause kernel panic when ublk server daemon is exiting.

It depends on patches 1-6 which simplifies & improves IO canceling when ublk server daemon
is exiting as described here:

[PATCH v1 2/7] ublk: properly serialize all FETCH_REQs

[Jared Holzman]

From: Uday Shankar <ushankar@purestorage.com>

Most uring_cmds issued against ublk character devices are serialized
because each command affects only one queue, and there is an early check
which only allows a single task (the queue's ubq_daemon) to issue
uring_cmds against that queue. However, this mechanism does not work for
FETCH_REQs, since they are expected before ubq_daemon is set. Since
FETCH_REQs are only used at initialization and not in the fast path,
serialize them using the per-ublk-device mutex. This fixes a number of
data races that were previously possible if a badly behaved ublk server
decided to issue multiple FETCH_REQs against the same qid/tag
concurrently.

[PATCH v1 3/7] ublk: move device reset into ublk_ch_release()

[Jared Holzman]

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>

ublk_ch_release() is called after ublk char device is closed, when all
uring_cmd are done, so it is perfect fine to move ublk device reset to
ublk_ch_release() from ublk_ctrl_start_recovery().

This way can avoid to grab the exiting daemon task_struct too long.

However, reset of the following ublk IO flags has to be moved until ublk
io_uring queues are ready:

- ubq->canceling

For requeuing IO in case of ublk_nosrv_dev_should_queue_io() before device
is recovered

- ubq->fail_io

For failing IO in case of UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_FAIL_IO before device is
recovered

- ublk_io->flags

For preventing using io->cmd

With this way, recovery is simplified a lot.

[PATCH v1 4/7] ublk: improve detection and handling of ublk server exit

[Jared Holzman]

From: Uday Shankar <ushankar@purestorage.com>

There are currently two ways in which ublk server exit is detected by
ublk_drv:

1. uring_cmd cancellation. If there are any outstanding uring_cmds which
   have not been completed to the ublk server when it exits, io_uring
   calls the uring_cmd callback with a special cancellation flag as the
   issuing task is exiting.
2. I/O timeout. This is needed in addition to the above to handle the
   "saturated queue" case, when all I/Os for a given queue are in the
   ublk server, and therefore there are no outstanding uring_cmds to
   cancel when the ublk server exits.

There are a couple of issues with this approach:

- It is complex and inelegant to have two methods to detect the same
  condition
- The second method detects ublk server exit only after a long delay
  (~30s, the default timeout assigned by the block layer). This delays
  the nosrv behavior from kicking in and potential subsequent recovery
  of the device.

The second issue is brought to light with the new test_generic_06 which
will be added in following patch. It fails before this fix:

selftests: ublk: test_generic_06.sh
dev id is 0
dd: error writing '/dev/ublkb0': Input/output error
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes copied, 30.0611 s, 0.0 kB/s
DEAD
dd took 31 seconds to exit (>= 5s tolerance)!
generic_06 : [FAIL]

Fix this by instead detecting and handling ublk server exit in the
character file release callback. This has several advantages:

- This one place can handle both saturated and unsaturated queues. Thus,
  it replaces both preexisting methods of detecting ublk server exit.
- It runs quickly on ublk server exit - there is no 30s delay.
- It starts the process of removing task references in ublk_drv. This is
  needed if we want to relax restrictions in the driver like letting
  only one thread serve each queue

There is also the disadvantage that the character file release callback
can also be triggered by intentional close of the file, which is a
significant behavior change. Preexisting ublk servers (libublksrv) are
dependent on the ability to open/close the file multiple times. To
address this, only transition to a nosrv state if the file is released
while the ublk device is live. This allows for programs to open/close
the file multiple times during setup. It is still a behavior change if a
ublk server decides to close/reopen the file while the device is LIVE
(i.e. while it is responsible for serving I/O), but that would be highly
unusual. This behavior is in line with what is done by FUSE, which is
very similar to ublk in that a userspace daemon is providing services
traditionally provided by the kernel.

With this change in, the new test (and all other selftests, and all
ublksrv tests) pass:

selftests: ublk: test_generic_06.sh
dev id is 0
dd: error writing '/dev/ublkb0': Input/output error
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes copied, 0.0376731 s, 0.0 kB/s
DEAD
generic_04 : [PASS]

[PATCH v1 5/7] ublk: remove __ublk_quiesce_dev()

[Jared Holzman]

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>

Remove __ublk_quiesce_dev() and open code for updating device state as
QUIESCED.

We needn't to drain inflight requests in __ublk_quiesce_dev() any more,
because all inflight requests are aborted in ublk char device release
handler.

Also we needn't to set ->canceling in __ublk_quiesce_dev() any more
because it is done unconditionally now in ublk_ch_release().

[PATCH v1 6/7] ublk: simplify aborting ublk request

[Jared Holzman]

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>

Now ublk_abort_queue() is moved to ublk char device release handler,
meantime our request queue is "quiesced" because either ->canceling was
set from uring_cmd cancel function or all IOs are inflight and can't be
completed by ublk server, things becomes easy much:

- all uring_cmd are done, so we needn't to mark io as UBLK_IO_FLAG_ABORTED
for handling completion from uring_cmd

- ublk char device is closed, no one can hold IO request reference any more,
so we can simply complete this request or requeue it for ublk_nosrv_should_reissue_outstanding.

[PATCH v1 7/7] ublk: fix race between io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task and ublk_cancel_cmd

[Jared Holzman]

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>

ublk_cancel_cmd() calls io_uring_cmd_done() to complete uring_cmd, but
we may have scheduled task work via io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task() for
dispatching request, then kernel crash can be triggered.

Fix it by not trying to canceling the command if ublk block request is
started.

The patch itself looks fine, just you need to add upstream commit hash to each
patch, please follow the guide:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst

Also there is one example:

https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20250430230616.4023290-1-alexander@tsoy.me/



Thanks,
Ming

As was pointed out, you seem to have lost the upstream git commit id in
all of these :(

Please fix up and send a v2 series.

[PATCH v1 0/7] ublk: Backport to 6.14-stable: fix race between io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task and ublk_cancel_cmd

[Jared Holzman]

This patchset backports a series of ublk fixes from upstream to 6.14-stable.

Patch 7 fixes the race that can cause kernel panic when ublk server daemon is exiting.

It depends on patches 1-6 which simplifies & improves IO canceling when ublk server daemon
is exiting as described here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20250416035444.99569-1-ming.lei@redhat.com/

Ming Lei (5):
  ublk: add helper of ublk_need_map_io()
  ublk: move device reset into ublk_ch_release()
  ublk: remove __ublk_quiesce_dev()
  ublk: simplify aborting ublk request
  ublk: fix race between io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task and
    ublk_cancel_cmd

Uday Shankar (2):
  ublk: properly serialize all FETCH_REQs
  ublk: improve detection and handling of ublk server exit
