This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring: break out of iowq iopoll on teardown 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: io_uring-break-out-of-iowq-iopoll-on-teardown.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. >From stable-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tue Sep 12 16:05:05 2023 From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2023 15:02:49 +0100 Subject: io_uring: break out of iowq iopoll on teardown To: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>, asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <649666e4cf7b5b829b12ba14f1648fdba2950d10.1694524751.git.asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> [ upstream commit 45500dc4e01c167ee063f3dcc22f51ced5b2b1e9 ] io-wq will retry iopoll even when it failed with -EAGAIN. If that races with task exit, which sets TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL for all its workers, such workers might potentially infinitely spin retrying iopoll again and again and each time failing on some allocation / waiting / etc. Don't keep spinning if io-wq is dying.
