Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] ublk: mark the io command cancelable before publishing it
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 20:47:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111014722.402629-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107051207-failed-6.18-a261f0cacacc@kernel.org>
From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit a261f0cacacc022e4fab5b8e38c59f74ce4942e8 ]
FETCH, COMMIT_AND_FETCH and NEED_GET_DATA publish the command in io->cmd
before marking it cancelable. A cancel from the control path (STOP_DEV,
QUIESCE_DEV) can complete it in between:
issue path control-path cancel
io->cmd = C
take C, io_uring_cmd_done(C):
C not marked, nothing to unlink
ublk_prep_cancel(C)
the completed C is linked on the cancelable list
ring exit: the cancel walk hits it → GPF (KASAN, with a delay added)
Mark the command before ublk_fill_io_cmd() publishes it. The handlers
run with uring_lock held, as io_uring's cancel walk does, so marking
takes no lock and the walk can't see a marked command before it is
published. smp_wmb() orders the mark before the io->cmd store; the
cancel loads cmd with READ_ONCE(io->cmd) before reading cmd->flags.
A marked command has to be completed by io_uring_cmd_done(), so a failed
FETCH and the inline UBLK_IO_RES_OK of NEED_GET_DATA now do that. The CQE
is the same.
Fixes: 216c8f5ef0f2 ("ublk: replace monitor with cancelable uring_cmd")
