This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring/fdinfo: lock SQ thread while retrieving thread cpu/pid 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-fdinfo-lock-sq-thread-while-retrieving-thread-cpu-pid.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. >From 7644b1a1c9a7ae8ab99175989bfc8676055edb46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2023 12:30:29 -0600 Subject: io_uring/fdinfo: lock SQ thread while retrieving thread cpu/pid From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit 7644b1a1c9a7ae8ab99175989bfc8676055edb46 upstream. We could race with SQ thread exit, and if we do, we'll hit a NULL pointer dereference when the thread is cleared. Grab the SQPOLL data lock before attempting to get the task cpu and pid for fdinfo, this ensures we have a stable view of it.
