This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring: zero iocb->ki_pos for stream file types to the 5.15-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-zero-iocb-ki_pos-for-stream-file-types.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 89cd295ff6066f01103f802e943ef5b915313d15 Author: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Dec 22 20:26:56 2021 -0700 io_uring: zero iocb->ki_pos for stream file types [ Upstream commit 7b9762a5e8837b92a027d58d396a9d27f6440c36 ] io_uring supports using offset == -1 for using the current file position, and we read that in as part of read/write command setup. For the non-iter read/write types we pass in NULL for the position pointer, but for the iter types we should not be passing any anything but 0 for the position for a stream. Clear kiocb->ki_pos if the file is a stream, don't leave it as -1. If we do, then the request will error with -ESPIPE.
