This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring/cancel: re-grab ctx mutex after finishing wait to the 6.1-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-cancel-re-grab-ctx-mutex-after-finishing-wa.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1b2af895065c732348964d5c6dac2f1ca08f4891 Author: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Dec 21 07:11:33 2022 -0700 io_uring/cancel: re-grab ctx mutex after finishing wait [ Upstream commit 23fffb2f09ce1145cbd751801d45ba74acaa6542 ] If we have a signal pending during cancelations, it'll cause the task_work run to return an error. Since we didn't run task_work, the current task is left in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state when we need to re-grab the ctx mutex, and the kernel will rightfully complain about that. Move the lock grabbing for the error cases outside the loop to avoid that issue.
