This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dm crypt: avoid accessing uninitialized tasklet to the 5.10-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: dm-crypt-avoid-accessing-uninitialized-tasklet.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a95530ebdb4ef34ea248ae061d1fd676a6d4cc8e Author: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 8 14:39:54 2023 -0500 dm crypt: avoid accessing uninitialized tasklet [ Upstream commit d9a02e016aaf5a57fb44e9a5e6da8ccd3b9e2e70 ] When neither "no_read_workqueue" nor "no_write_workqueue" are enabled, tasklet_trylock() in crypt_dec_pending() may still return false due to an uninitialized state, and dm-crypt will unnecessarily do io completion in io_queue workqueue instead of current context. Fix this by adding an 'in_tasklet' flag to dm_crypt_io struct and initialize it to false in crypt_io_init(). Set this flag to true in kcryptd_queue_crypt() before calling tasklet_schedule(). If set crypt_dec_pending() will punt io completion to a workqueue. This also nicely avoids the tasklet_trylock/unlock hack when tasklets aren't in use.
