Hi Greg,
Here are io_uring fixes for 6.18-stable.
They apply on top of v6.18.60 with the current queue-6.18 applied
(stable-queue 6575ff04f2fd). They don't depend on anything in the queue,
and apply to v6.18.60 alone as well.
"io_uring/io-wq: save worker type before dropping its reference" is
already in queue-6.18, so it's not included here.
Patches 5, 6, 7 and 9 needed changes to apply to 6.18, the [axboe: ...]
note in each says what was changed.
Cheng Yongkang (2):
io_uring/timeout: count cancelled timeouts in cq_timeouts
io_uring/net: fix multishot recv length limit accounting
Chris Mason (4):
io_uring/rsrc: charge buffer arrays and nodes to memcg
io_uring: charge tctx nodes and personalities
io_uring: free XArray nodes left by a failed store
io_uring/sqpoll: don't wait for the thread to exit
Daan De Meyer (1):
io_uring/net: don't retry a non-blocking connect() that fails with
-EAGAIN
Josef Bacik (1):
io_uring/io-wq: no new workers once the exit has begun
Kyle Zeng (1):

Commit 8742f4b5a472c347fe568a73468a2d9e4d630b33 upstream.
io_ring_buffers_peek() flags the request with REQ_F_BL_EMPTY if the
buffers it picked were the last ones available, comparing head to tail.
When the loop breaks because max_len was exhausted the buffer was picked,
but head is left pointing at it, so the flag isn't set if it was the last
buffer. A bundle receive then retries, finds no buffer, and the request,
which has received data, is marked as failed on account of the -ENOBUFS.
That severs a link, and ends a multishot.

Commit 18d3f56eb6e6500a65d81cf265f0fe74fd9ecab6 upstream.
io_recvmsg() takes the transfer length from the ring provided buffer when
sqe->len is 0, and such a buffer can be up to 4G. min_ret is an int, so 2G
or more makes it negative and the (ret < min_ret) block is skipped, and the
oversized length reaches the socket layer unchanged: an empty socket then
completes with 0 instead of arming poll, and a short read is reported as
complete. Clamp the length to MAX_RW_COUNT, as io_recv() does.

Commit 71537ed811107c514c0342e98902d489d6d2b7cd upstream.
IORING_OP_CONNECT on an O_NONBLOCK AF_UNIX stream socket retries a
connect that fails with -EAGAIN because the listener's backlog is full.
Polling the client socket doesn't help: an unconnected stream socket
reports EPOLLOUT and EPOLLHUP right away, before the backlog drains. So
io_uring retries the connect until the apoll retry limit is hit, then
punts the request to io-wq. With a full backlog, io_connect() runs 128
times in the submitting task and once more in a new io-wq worker. That
worker stays in the task's thread group, so a later
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) fails with -EINVAL.
None of this changes the result. __sys_connect_file() adds the socket's
own O_NONBLOCK to every attempt, so the attempt from io-wq fails with
-EAGAIN as well. That -EAGAIN becomes the CQE result, and connect(2)
returns the same -EAGAIN.
Let's complete the request with -EAGAIN right away when the socket has
O_NONBLOCK set, like connect(2) does. io_accept() already completes
-EAGAIN this way for IORING_ACCEPT_DONTWAIT. -EINPROGRESS still waits
for the connection to complete. A blocking socket still ends up in
io-wq, where the connect sleeps until the listener accepts.

Commit 47c68f925062a6013235d06add85a59f7d91e0fb upstream.
io_wq_exit_start() sets IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT, but worker creation task_work
queued before that stays queued until io_wq_exit_workers() cancels it.
In between the task runs its task_work while canceling requests, and a
worker can still get created.
That's a problem for exec. begin_new_exec() calls io_uring_task_cancel()
after de_thread(), when it's supposedly the only thread left, and
io_wq_exit_workers() only waits for ->worker_done, which a worker
completes before do_exit(). So the exiting worker is still in the thread
group, using the mm, files and sighand, while exec replaces them. Easy
to hit with a signal pending when create_io_thread() fails and the retry
gets queued right before execve().
Cancel the queued creation task_work as soon as the exit bit is set.
Pending work that isn't otherwise canceled now ends with -ECANCELED when
the io-wq is destroyed, rather than depending on whether the task
happened to run its task_work first.

Commit 075d5837bafc317e796548f721b8fbf7add6821d upstream.
The io_mapped_ubuf of a registered buffer has one bio_vec per page,
unless the pages coalesce into huge pages. Huge pages only count against
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK once per ring, so a buffer that maps the same 2MB folio
over and over in a way that defeats coalescing gets a full bvec array
per registration while only the one folio counts as locked. 1GB of that
registered in 100 slots took several times a 64MB memory.max, with 2.6MB
charged.
Allocate the io_mapped_ubuf and the io_rsrc_node with
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT. An object reused from the ring caches stays charged
to whoever allocated it first, same as the io_kiocb cache.

Commit 0b34e7b20a48710b6f53716bf7030920b69fdbdd upstream.
The io_tctx_node allocated the first time a task touches a ring, and
the XArray nodes behind tctx->xa and ctx->personalities, are plain
GFP_KERNEL. tctx->xa is indexed by the ring pointer, so nearly every
entry needs nodes of its own, and a task gets one entry per ring it has
used. 642 threads on 4000 rings held 2.3GB with 59MB charged against a
64MB memory.max.
Allocate the node with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT and set XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT on
both XArrays.

Commit 51bab09b7ca1a9a6dd9303a3b7ee346f8128c963 upstream.
A failed xa_store() can leave nodes without entries in the tree, and
erasing every entry doesn't free those. An XArray needs xa_destroy()
before it goes away, even an empty one. That was dropped for tctx->xa in
commit ca6484cd308a ("io_uring: no need to call xa_destroy() on empty
xarray") over a lockdep report from freeing the tctx in softirq context,
and ctx->personalities never had it.
Now that the nodes are charged, a store can fail at memory.max and the
leaked nodes stay charged. Call xa_destroy() in io_uring_clean_tctx(),
which the task runs itself in process context before the tctx is freed,
in the error path of __io_uring_add_tctx_node(), and for
ctx->personalities in io_ring_ctx_free().

Commit 360395e8dbf9d23579f74b84a1af11190813b0f8 upstream.
io_sq_thread_stop() wakes the SQPOLL thread and waits for it to exit.
The thread belongs to the thread group that created the ring, so a
SIGSTOP or the cgroup freezer holds it in get_signal(), and the wake up
doesn't change that. io_ring_exit_work() then sleeps in that wait until
someone continues or kills the process. iou_exit has 64 slots, so 64
closed SQPOLL rings of a stopped process keep every other ring from
being freed, for everyone.
Don't wait. Set the stop bit, wake the thread, and let it exit when it
gets to run again. The sqd can now outlive its last ring, so give it a
second refcount with one reference for the rings and one for the thread,
and free it with the last one. The thread can't reach a freed ring,
rings leave ctx_list before dropping their reference, and the io-wq hash
is refcounted.

Commit 3de16279b43dc285ed2222aba06cebdc82fdb28b upstream.
An IOPOLL ring without DEFER_TASKRUN can be reaped by a task other than
the one that submitted the I/O. If a polled request is marked
REQ_F_REISSUE, io_free_batch_list() calls io_queue_iowq() with the
original tctx. Ordinary task exit can tear down tctx->io_wq after
draining only the tracked requests. The live request pins the task, but
not its io-wq, so the foreign task can race io_wq_put_and_exit() and
enqueue through a freed or NULL queue.
Forward foreign userspace enqueues to the owning task before accessing
tctx->io_wq. Use a dedicated task_work callback so reissues still go
straight to io-wq, and fail them if task_work is running in cancellation
mode. Preserve the existing PF_KTHREAD cancellation path. This also
covers the other callers of io_queue_iowq() without changing the
worker-owned enqueue path.

Commit 1c8b49851543f41fc8bb18bcd1f15cc93d14b530 upstream.
io_timeout_cancel() posts the cancelled timeout's -ECANCELED CQE without
advancing ctx->cq_timeouts. io_timeout_fn() and io_kill_timeout()
advance it for every timeout CQE they post, and io_flush_timeouts()
computes the number of non-timeout completions as
seq = cached_cq_tail - cq_timeouts
to compare against each off timeout's target_seq. The cancelled
timeout's CQE is therefore counted as a regular completion, so every
cancellation makes an already armed off timeout fire one completion
early.
A ring with a keep-alive timeout of off=4 completes it after two NOPs
when one off=100 victim is cancelled through IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL, and
before any NOP when two victims are cancelled. The cancel CQE should
count, but the cancelled timeouts' -ECANCELED CQEs must not: the
expected counts are three and two NOPs respectively.
Advance cq_timeouts when io_timeout_extract() succeeds, under
timeout_lock and before the -ECANCELED completion is queued, matching
io_timeout_fn() and io_kill_timeout(). The -ENOENT and -EALREADY paths
post no new timeout CQE and keep their accounting. Both the
ASYNC_CANCEL and the TIMEOUT_REMOVE path go through io_timeout_cancel().

Commit 3e3aebb7570ccdde5cc49c9bfc8fd3a436b71b0c upstream.
io_recv_finish() debits sr->mshot_total_len with min_t(int, sel->val,
sr->mshot_total_len). sel->val is the cumulative byte count of the
request: on a bundle retry the receive path adds sr->done_io back to the
return value, and the bundle branch in io_recv_finish() recovers the new
bytes with this_ret = sel->val - sr->done_io. The debit therefore uses
the wrong value after a bundle retry, and the int cast truncates a limit
above INT_MAX.
For an IORING_OP_RECV multishot request with optlen above INT_MAX, the
limit becomes negative when cast to int, so the first completion debits
the entire limit and ends the multishot with IORING_RECV_MSHOT_DONE
while the socket still holds data that covers the limit. With 120 bytes
queued, a 64-byte buffer and optlen 0x80000000, the first 64-byte CQE
lacks IORING_CQE_F_MORE and 56 bytes remain unread; the same setup with
optlen 0x7fffffff posts 64 and 56 bytes with F_MORE.
After a bundle retry, the bytes already debited for the previous
attempts are debited again, so the limit is exhausted early. With 1400
bytes queued, optlen 1000 and buffers of 600, 100, 100, 50, 50 and 200
bytes, the first attempt delivers 700 bytes and retries; the second
delivers 200 more, but the debit accounts for 900 and finishes the
request with a terminal 900-byte CQE while 500 bytes remain unread. The
limit could have been reached.
Debit only the bytes received by this invocation, sel->val -
sr->done_io, and compare as unsigned so a limit above INT_MAX is
accounted correctly. Non-bundle multishot requests keep sr->done_io at
zero, so their accounting is unchanged.
