Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] ublk: mark the io command cancelable before publishing it
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 20:56:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111015604.451739-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107052320-failed-6.12-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.

[ sashal: Omitted out_done because FETCH validation precedes cancellation marking and NEED_GET_DATA already completes asynchronously. ]
