There is no reliable way to submit and wait in a single syscall, as io_submit_sqes() may under-consume sqes (in case of an early error). Then it will wait for not-yet-submitted requests, deadlocking the user in most cases. Don't wait/poll if can't submit all sqes Signed-off-by: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> --- v5: as the v1, but doesn't return -EAGAIN fs/io_uring.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/io_uring.c b/fs/io_uring.c index fd85f9d3a8e1..eca025f38614 100644 --- a/fs/io_uring.c +++ b/fs/io_uring.c @@ -5133,6 +5133,9 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE6(io_uring_enter, unsigned int, fd, u32, to_submit, submitted = io_submit_sqes(ctx, to_submit, f.file, fd, &cur_mm, false); mutex_unlock(&ctx->uring_lock); + + if (submitted != to_submit) + goto out; } if (flags & IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS) { unsigned nr_events = 0; @@ -5146,6 +5149,7 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE6(io_uring_enter, unsigned int, fd, u32, to_submit, } } +out: percpu_ref_put(&ctx->refs); out_fput: fdput(f); -- 2.24.0
