I agree with Vegard that I don't think this is fixing the core of the issue. I think what is happening here is that we don't run the task_work in io_uring_cancel_generic() unconditionally, if we don't need to in the loop above. But we do need to ensure we run it before we clear current->io_uring. Do you have a reproducer? If so, can you try the below? I _think_ this is all we need. We can't be hitting the delayed fput path as the task isn't exiting, and we're dealing with current here. diff --git a/io_uring/io_uring.c b/io_uring/io_uring.c index 36cb63e4174f..4791d94c88f5 100644 --- a/io_uring/io_uring.c +++ b/io_uring/io_uring.c @@ -3125,6 +3125,15 @@ __cold void io_uring_cancel_generic(bool cancel_all, struct io_sq_data *sqd) io_uring_clean_tctx(tctx); if (cancel_all) { + /* + * If we didn't run task_work in the loop above, ensure we + * do so here.
