This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring/waitid: don't abuse io_tw_state to the 6.13-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-waitid-don-t-abuse-io_tw_state.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 559786c2195180f8e8cd8d194b3bd4985076dab3 Author: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 12 13:33:24 2025 +0000 io_uring/waitid: don't abuse io_tw_state [ Upstream commit 06521ac0485effdcc9c792cb0b40ed8e6f2f5fb8 ] struct io_tw_state is managed by core io_uring, and opcode handling code must never try to cheat and create their own instances, it's plain incorrect. io_waitid_complete() attempts exactly that outside of the task work context, and even though the ring is locked, there would be no one to reap the requests from the defer completion list. It only works now because luckily it's called before io_uring_try_cancel_uring_cmd(), which flushes completions.
