When IORING_REGISTER_CLONE_BUFFERS is used to clone buffers from uring instance A to uring instance B, where A and B use different MMs for accounting, the accounting can go wrong: If uring instance A is closed before uring instance B, the pinned memory counters for uring instance B will be decremented, even though the pinned memory was originally accounted through uring instance A; so the MM of uring instance B can end up with negative locked memory.

I put a stable marker on this, but I'm ambivalent about whether this issue even warrants landing a fix in stable - feel free to remove the Cc stable marker if you think it's unnecessary. --- io_uring/rsrc.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/io_uring/rsrc.c b/io_uring/rsrc.c index 077f84684c18a0b3f5e622adb4978b6a00353b2f..caecc18dd5be03054ae46179bc0918887bf609a4 100644 --- a/io_uring/rsrc.c +++ b/io_uring/rsrc.c @@ -931,6 +931,13 @@ static int io_clone_buffers(struct io_ring_ctx *ctx, struct io_ring_ctx *src_ctx int i, ret, off, nr; unsigned int nbufs; + /* + * Accounting state is shared between the two rings; that only works if + * both rings are accounted towards the same counters. + */ + if (ctx->user != src_ctx->user || ctx->mm_account != src_ctx->mm_account) + return -EINVAL; + /* if offsets are given, must have nr specified too */ if (!arg->nr && (arg->dst_off || arg->src_off)) return -EINVAL; --- base-commit: c45323b7560ec87c37c729b703c86ee65f136d75 change-id: 20250114-uring-check-accounting-4356f8b91c37 -- Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>
