This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring/rw: ensure io->bytes_done is always initialized 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-rw-ensure-io-bytes_done-is-always-initialized.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 2fb96ecf68bc1fb55508d22ebaf9518eaeb1a088 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2024 12:30:07 -0700 Subject: io_uring/rw: ensure io->bytes_done is always initialized From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit 0a535eddbe0dc1de4386046ab849f08aeb2f8faf upstream. If IOSQE_ASYNC is set and we fail importing an iovec for a readv or writev request, then we leave ->bytes_done uninitialized and hence the eventual failure CQE posted can potentially have a random res value rather than the expected -EINVAL. Setup ->bytes_done before potentially failing, so we have a consistent value if we fail the request early.
