From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f1ebdeffc6f325e30e0ddb9f7a70f1370fa4b851 upstream. exit_aio() is sometimes stuck in wait_for_completion() after aio is issued with direct IO and the task receives a signal. The reason is failure to call ->ki_complete() due to a leaked reference to fuse_io_priv. This happens in fuse_async_req_send() if fuse_simple_background() returns an error (e.g. -EINTR). In this case the error value is propagated via io->err, so return success to not confuse callers. This issue is tracked as a virtio-fs issue: https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/qemu/issues/14 Reported-by: Masayoshi Mizuma <m.mizuma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 45ac96ed7c36 ("fuse: convert direct_io to simple api") Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v5.4 Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/fuse/file.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/fuse/file.c +++ b/fs/fuse/file.c @@ -713,8 +713,10 @@ static ssize_t fuse_async_req_send(struc ia->ap.args.end = fuse_aio_complete_req; err = fuse_simple_background(fc, &ia->ap.args, GFP_KERNEL); + if (err) + fuse_aio_complete_req(fc, &ia->ap.args, err); - return err ?: num_bytes; + return num_bytes; } static ssize_t fuse_send_read(struct fuse_io_args *ia, loff_t pos, size_t count,
