[PATCH v4 2/2] fs/aio: Make io_cancel() generate completions again

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The following patch accidentally removed the code for delivering
completions for cancelled reads and writes to user space: "[PATCH 04/33]
aio: remove retry-based AIO"
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/1363883754-27966-5-git-send-email-koverstreet@xxxxxxxxxx/)
>From that patch:

-	if (kiocbIsCancelled(iocb)) {
-		ret = -EINTR;
-		aio_complete(iocb, ret, 0);
-		/* must not access the iocb after this */
-		goto out;
-	}

This leads to a leak in user space of a struct iocb. Hence this patch
that restores the code that reports to user space that a read or write
has been cancelled successfully.
