This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring: stash ctx task reference for SQPOLL to the 5.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: io_uring-stash-ctx-task-reference-for-sqpoll.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Oct 29 01:16:54 PM CET 2020 From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2020 11:15:07 -0600 Subject: io_uring: stash ctx task reference for SQPOLL From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit 2aede0e417db846793c276c7a1bbf7262c8349b0 upstream. We can grab a reference to the task instead of stashing away the task files_struct. This is doable without creating a circular reference between the ring fd and the task itself.
