Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/eventfd: ensure io_eventfd_signal() defers another
RCU period
Commit c9a40292a44e78f71258b8522655bffaf5753bdb upstream.
io_eventfd_do_signal() is invoked from an RCU callback, but when
dropping the reference to the io_ev_fd, it calls io_eventfd_free()
directly if the refcount drops to zero. This isn't correct, as any
potential freeing of the io_ev_fd should be deferred another RCU grace
period.
Just call io_eventfd_put() rather than open-code the dec-and-test and
free, which will correctly defer it another RCU grace period.
Fixes: 21a091b970cd ("io_uring: signal registered eventfd to process deferred task work")
