6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> commit dbd2ca9367eb19bc5e269b8c58b0b1514ada9156 upstream. task work can be executed after the task has gone through io_uring termination, whether it's the final task_work run or the fallback path. In this case, task work will find ->io_wq being already killed and null'ed, which is a problem if it then tries to forward the request to io_queue_iowq(). Make io_queue_iowq() fail requests in this case. Note that it also checks PF_KTHREAD, because the user can first close a DEFER_TASKRUN ring and shortly after kill the task, in which case ->iowq check would race.
