This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring: fix drain stalls by invalid SQE to the 6.4-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-fix-drain-stalls-by-invalid-sqe.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a712fb9552f0983f426d8efedeb5d015fe60cbb2 Author: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 9 13:21:41 2023 +0100 io_uring: fix drain stalls by invalid SQE [ Upstream commit cfdbaa3a291d6fd2cb4a1a70d74e63b4abc2f5ec ] cq_extra is protected by ->completion_lock, which io_get_sqe() misses. The bug is harmless as it doesn't happen in real life, requires invalid SQ index array and racing with submission, and only messes up the userspace, i.e. stall requests execution but will be cleaned up on ring destruction.
