2026-10-15tracing: Keep the predicate limit separate from program capacityTaeyang Lee
predicate_parse() adds two to nr_preds to reserve the terminal TRUE and FALSE entries. It also uses that increased value as the limit for parsed predicates. If the initial count is smaller than the number actually parsed, the program can fill the allocation and subsequent accesses can go past its end. Keep nr_preds as the predicate limit and use a separate value for the allocation size. This leaves space for both terminal entries and a zeroed entry when parsing stops at the limit.

2026-10-15tracing: Fix crash in print_graph_function_event()Hao Ge
tracing_set_tracer() assigns the flags of the newly selected tracer with: tr->current_trace_flags = t->flags ? : t->tracer->flags; If the new tracer defines neither static flags nor default flags, like hwlat, irqsoff or wakeup, add_tracer() has no per instance flags copy for it, and both operands are NULL, so tr->current_trace_flags ends up being NULL as well. The ring buffer is not cleared when switching tracers: it is reset inside tracer_init(), after current_trace_flags was already assigned. If the buffer still holds function_graph entries of the previous tracer, printing one of them dereferences the NULL pointer. This was hit by cat trace during an ftrace stress test: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode RIP: 0010:print_graph_function_event+0xe/0x20 Call Trace: s_show+0x4d/0x110 seq_read_iter+0x2d4/0x490 seq_read+0x130/0x170 vfs_read+0xb5/0x370 ksys_read+0x6d/0xe0 do_syscall_64+0xbc/0x450 The snapshot buffer is not reset at all, so this can be reproduced without a race: echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/snapshot echo hwlat > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer cat /sys/kernel/tracing/snapshot Rather than teaching every user of tr->current_trace_flags about this corner case, make sure it is never NULL: when the newly selected tracer has no flags at all, tracing_set_tracer() falls back to a static empty no_tracer_flags. run_tracer_selftest() can hit the same case, so the same fallback is added there too. The existing users already handle opts == NULL, so these tracers keep behaving as before.

2026-10-15spi: tegra114: initialize native chip selects inactiveAbraham Zukor
tegra_spi_probe() initializes SPI_COMMAND1 with only SPI_M_S, leaving CS_POL_INACTIVE clear for every chip select. This drives every native active-low chip select low until tegra_spi_setup() runs for that device. SPI children are registered and probed one at a time. A synchronous probe of an earlier child can therefore transfer while a later child's chip select is still asserted. On a Tegra234 system with active-low devices on CS0 and CS1, this caused both devices to be selected when the CS1 device probed first. Its initialization then intermittently failed. A logic analyzer showed CS0 remained low throughout the CS1 transfer and went high only after the CS1 probe failed. Walk the controller's device tree children before SPI_COMMAND1 is written and set CS_POL_INACTIVE for each valid chip select without spi-cs-high. That way the line is already deasserted when the first child transfers and does not change level when setup runs. Disabled children are walked too. The core only registers available children, so tegra_spi_setup() never runs for a disabled one and probe is the only chance to park its chip select at the level its hardware needs. If an enabled child shares a chip select with disabled ones, its polarity takes priority. If only disabled children use a chip select and they disagree, warn and leave the line inactive high.

2026-10-15ASoC: rockchip: fix device node reference leak in rk3288_hdmi_analogHaotian Zhang
snd_rk_mc_probe() acquires references to the codec and CPU device nodes with of_parse_phandle() and stores them in the static rk_dailink, but the driver never calls of_node_put() on them. All error paths and the success path simply return, and the driver has no remove callback, so the references are leaked for the whole lifetime of the card and each failed or repeated probe leaks another pair. The same pattern was fixed for the sibling rockchip_rt5645.c driver. Release the codec and CPU device nodes on every probe error path and in a new remove callback, and also drop the extra reference placed in args.np by of_parse_phandle_with_fixed_args().

2026-10-15spi: imx: fix slab corruption from undersized DMA bounce buffersRichard Leitner
Since commit faa8e404ad8e ("spi: imx: support dynamic burst length for ECSPI DMA mode"), the driver allocates its private DMA TX/RX buffers with kzalloc(dma_len), where dma_len is only rounded up to 4 bytes, but maps, syncs and unmaps them with DMA_CACHE_ALIGNED_LEN(dma_len), i.e. rounded up to the cache line size. As a result, the DMA API operates on memory beyond the end of the allocation. This was observed on a custom i.MX8MP platform with an mcp251xfd CAN controller under heavy RPMSG load, as a series of refcount_t warnings triggered from rpmsg_recv_done() in virtio_rpmsg_bus: refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free. refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free. refcount_t: saturated; leaking memory. Leading finally to an "Unable to handle kernel paging request" oops. Reproducing this problem took between 30 minutes and roughly 30 hours under the same workload. Hardware watchpoints on the refcount of a struct rpmsg_endpoint showed it was overwritten from 2 to 1 by __pi_memcpy_generic() in the irq/155-spi2.0 thread. Additionally it was found that a "normal" rpmsg_recv_done() took 11µs +/-2µs from its kref_get to kref_put. In the error case the same sequence took about 215µs +/-10µs. Based on this, an LLM was used to identify the size mismatch fixed here. Allocate the buffers with DMA_CACHE_ALIGNED_LEN(dma_len) so they cover the full mapped length, and use the same length for dma_sync_single_for_cpu() to stay consistent with map and unmap. With this patch applied, the same workload ran for more than 200 hours without the problem reproducing.

2026-10-15PCI/PM: Restore BARs after powering up during enumerationKeng-Yu Lin
Commit 4d4c10f763d7 ("PCI: Explicitly put devices into D0 when initializing") added pci_pm_power_up_and_verify_state() to pci_pm_init(). The helper ignores pci_power_up()'s return value indicating that BARs need restoring. Its resume callers restore saved configuration afterwards; pci_pm_init() does not. D3hot-to-D0 may reset a device and lose its BARs (PCI PM 1.2, sec 5.4.1). After enumeration powers it up, pci_enable_device() reads D0 and skips the full power-up path. Previously, a device still in D3hot at enable time took that path, including BAR restoration. On AMD Venice SP7, two AMD xHCI controllers [1022:17d2] are in runtime D3hot with No_Soft_Reset clear before kdump. Diagnostic reads on v7.3-rc6-37 show the following for 0000:01:00.4 in the crash kernel: PMCSR BAR0 before the platform power call 0003 f4100004 after the platform power call 0003 f4100004 after native D0 power-up 0000 00000004 The upper BAR DWORD stays zero. pci_power_up() returns 1, but the BAR address remains zero while dev->resource[0] still contains 0xf4100000. Without BAR restoration, the crash kernel hangs during boot. The last console output includes: pci 0000:01:00.4: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) Restoring both controllers' BARs gives matching readbacks and allows kdump to save a vmcore and reboot. An AMD Turin xHCI [1022:1557] shows the same BAR loss; restoring its BAR also allows kdump to complete. Read the initial power state first. Otherwise, pci_power_up() may request a BAR restore based on a cached PCI_UNKNOWN state, even when the device is already in D0. For devices already in D0, only synchronize the platform state so that ACPI calls such as _REG still run. For other states, use pci_set_full_power_state() to power up the device and restore BARs when needed.

2026-10-15i2c: xiic: restore non-managed runtime PM to fix clk WARN floodAbdurrahman Hussain
The devres conversion replaced manual pm_runtime_enable()/disable() with devm_pm_runtime_set_active_enabled() and dropped the remove-time runtime PM teardown. The managed release tears runtime PM down in the wrong order: it calls pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() before pm_runtime_disable(), i.e. while runtime PM is still enabled, and devres is LIFO so the devm_clk_get_enabled() release runs afterwards. At remove(), pm_runtime_put_sync() leaves the device active with the autosuspend timer armed. Clearing use_autosuspend then makes rpm_idle() suspend immediately, and xiic_i2c_runtime_suspend() clk_disable()s the clock. The later devm_clk_get_enabled() release clk_disable_unprepare()s the already-disabled clock, so clk_core_disable() WARNs ("clkN already disabled") on every teardown. Drop the managed helper and restore the non-managed runtime PM setup and teardown, so runtime PM is enabled once in probe and disabled once in remove and the clock enable count stays balanced. Order the remove teardown so runtime PM is disabled before the usage count is dropped: pm_runtime_disable() followed by pm_runtime_put_noidle() instead of pm_runtime_put_sync(). Dropping the count first with autosuspend still enabled arms the autosuspend timer, and a preemption before pm_runtime_disable() lets it expire, suspend the device and clk_disable() the clock, which the devm release then disables again - the same WARN. Restore the non-managed IRQ request as well. The probe error paths now unwind runtime PM by hand via goto, and a devm-registered handler is only freed later during devres unwind, so it would stay live across the manual teardown (and across any future failing step added after it). Request the IRQ with request_threaded_irq() and free it explicitly in the probe error path and in remove. The probe error path also clears use_autosuspend, to match the teardown in remove().

2026-10-15io_uring/timeout: don't flush with the sequence behind the last flushJens Axboe
io_flush_timeouts() measures the events since the last flush as the distance of the current sequence from ->cq_last_tm_flush. A fired timeout bumps ->cq_timeouts before its CQE is posted, so until it is the sequence can be behind the last flush, and the distance wraps: last flush: seq 100, cq_last_tm_flush = 100 Y: IORING_OP_TIMEOUT, off 50, target_seq 150 pure timeout A fires, cq_timeouts = 1 task_work posts A's CQE, cached_cq_tail = 101 pure timeout B fires before the flush, cq_timeouts = 2 io_flush_timeouts(): seq = 99, events_got = 0xffffffff Y, and every sequence timeout behind it, is ended with -ETIME although no event happened. Two timeouts expiring close together is all it takes, a completion with IOSQE_CQE_SKIP_SUCCESS after a single one does it too. Nothing but those in flight CQEs separates the two, so count from the last flush when the sequence is behind it, as io_timeout() does.

io_timeout_fn() and io_kill_timeout() bump ->cq_timeouts when a timeout fires, but its CQE is only posted later from task_work. Until then the sequence io_timeout() computes is one below the last flush per fired timeout. Now that ->cq_last_tm_flush is kept while sequence timeouts are pending, a timeout armed in that window with a small offset gets a target behind the base. Its distance from the base wraps, and it's never completed by events, only by its timer. With DEFER_TASKRUN that window is as wide as the application makes it, as submission runs before the local task_work. Nothing but those in flight CQEs separates the two, so use the last flush as the base for the target when the sequence is behind it.

Using atomic_cmpxchg instead of atomic_sub_return to guarantee both the count v and poll_refs are 0 and no wake-ups are missed.

2026-10-15io_uring: look up the file before queueing to io-wqJosef Bacik
io_prep_async_work() decides by the file of a request what kind of work it is for io-wq. I/O on regular files and block devices is bounded work, limited to min(SQ entries, 4 * CPUs) workers, for anything else that may block indefinitely the limit is RLIMIT_NPROC. Writes to a regular file are hashed by the inode, so that they are run one after the other instead of having a bunch of workers fight for the inode lock. Since the file is only assigned when a request is issued, a request that is queued without an attempt to issue it, REQ_F_FORCE_ASYNC, doesn't have one at that point. io_prep_async_work() takes that for "not a regular file or block device": - Reads and writes end up as unbound work. 32 reads with IOSQE_ASYNC from a slow block device on a ring with 4 SQ entries get 32 workers, not 4. - Writes aren't hashed. Four buffered writes to one file get four workers, three of which do nothing but wait for the lock. The late assignment is for the benefit of links, where a request may use a fixed file that one of its predecessors installs. By the time a request gets to io_queue_iowq() these are done, it is as good as issued. Assign the file there. io_assign_file() moves up and is forced inline. With a third caller the compiler may stop inlining it, and every request that is issued would pay for a call. IORING_OP_SPLICE is left as it is, unbound and not hashed. The file of the request is where it writes to, which says nothing about how long it takes: a splice from an empty pipe or a socket into a regular file waits for its input. As bounded work, four of these on a ring with 4 SQ entries keep all other bounded work of the task from running, and as hashed work one of them blocks all writes to that file. REQ_F_FORCE_ASYNC is not only set for IOSQE_ASYNC. What changes, and brings back what was the case before the file assignment was deferred: - Requests with IOSQE_ASYNC or IOSQE_IO_DRAIN, and all requests that are submitted while a drain is active: reads and writes on regular files and block devices count against the limit for bounded workers, including the one set with IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS, so fewer of them run at the same time. - Of these, writes to one regular file are run one at a time, unless they are O_DIRECT and the filesystem has FOP_DIO_PARALLEL_WRITE. - IORING_OP_FALLOCATE and IORING_OP_FTRUNCATE, which always go to io-wq, are run one at a time per file, and in turn with these writes. - The descriptor or the fixed file slot is looked up when the request is queued, not when a worker gets around to it, so closing or replacing it in between no longer has an effect on the request.

2026-10-15io_uring/timeout: don't end a linked timeout with 1Josef Bacik
A linked timeout that fires cancels the request it is linked to, and completes with -ETIME if that worked out: ret = io_try_cancel(req->tctx, &cd, 0); ... io_req_set_res(req, ret ?: -ETIME, 0); io_try_cancel() returns 0 or an error, except for requests that are parked on ->futex_list or ->waitid_list. io_futex_cancel() and io_waitid_cancel() return the number of requests that they have cancelled, and io_try_cancel() hands it on. So the linked timeout of an IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT, IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV or IORING_OP_WAITID that it has cancelled completes with 1, each time. The waitid test of liburing checks for that 1, and has to be changed to expect -ETIME, which is what the linked timeout of any other request completes with.

IORING_TIMEOUT_MULTISHOT can't be combined with IORING_TIMEOUT_ABS, prep rejects that, as the request is armed again with the same value each time it fires. IORING_TIMEOUT_UPDATE doesn't check and takes an absolute time for a multishot timeout. The first expiry is as asked for, but io_timeout_complete() then arms the timer with ->mode of the original request, i.e. it uses the absolute time as the interval. With CLOCK_MONOTONIC the next expiry is an uptime away, with CLOCK_REALTIME more than fifty years. Fail such an update with -EINVAL, and do so before the timeout is touched.

2026-10-15io_uring/net: don't retry recv on uncommitted buffersJosef Bacik
Commit 41b70df5b38b ("io_uring/net: commit partial buffers on retry") commits ring provided buffers when a receive is going to be retried after a partial transfer, so that another request using the same buffer group can't be handed the memory the first one keeps receiving into. It commits the number of bytes received so far. That does the job for a single buffer which is consumed as a whole, but the request hangs on to all it has mapped: - For a buffer ring with IOU_PBUF_RING_INC only these bytes are consumed. The rest of the buffer stays at the head of the ring. - For a bundle only the buffers which hold these bytes are consumed, the others that were peeked stay in the ring. In both cases the next receive with that buffer group gets memory that the retried request is still going to write to, and whoever comes last overwrites the data of the other. What the retry fills isn't committed at all, as the buffer list isn't known any more at that point. So the kernel hands it out again later on, while the CQE tells the application that it was used, and for an incremental buffer that it is done with. The remainder can't be committed in advance: if the request ends up receiving less, there is no way to tell the application that more was consumed than the CQE accounts for. Complete the request with what it has got instead of retrying it. MSG_WAITALL is no longer honoured for receives into incremental buffers or multi buffer bundles, they can return a short count, with the request marked as failed like for other short MSG_WAITALL transfers.

2026-10-15io_uring: don't pass restart error codes to userspaceJosef Bacik
-ERESTARTSYS and friends are instructions for the system call exit code, which either restarts the call or turns them into -EINTR. They are not supposed to be seen by applications. A request isn't a system call, nobody looks at what it returns before that is put into a CQE. The read/write and the networking opcodes convert these codes to -EINTR by hand. The others don't. An io-wq worker that is blocked in the open of a FIFO, a tty or some other device, or in a splice from an empty pipe, and that gets interrupted because the request is cancelled, completes it with -512: IORING_OP_OPENAT, IOSQE_ASYNC // FIFO without a writer IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL // -EALREADY, worker is signalled CQE of the open: res == -512 There are more candidates, like whatever a file system or driver returns from ->flush(), ->fsync(), ->fallocate() or ->uring_cmd(), or breaking a lease or delegation. Take care of it in io_issue_sqe(), which all of them go through. The helper is moved from rw.c as is. The cost is a compare and a branch that is not taken per request.

2026-10-15io_uring/openclose: keep the lock in io_pipe_fixed()Josef Bacik
io_pipe_fixed() installs both ends of the pipe in the fixed file table, drops ->uring_lock, and copies the slot numbers to the application. If that faults, it takes the lock again and removes whatever is in these slots. If the request is run by io-wq the lock really is dropped in between, and the slots are visible to everybody else. By the time the error path gets to them, they may have been closed and reused, by IORING_OP_CLOSE and a direct open or accept, or by IORING_REGISTER_FILES_UPDATE. Then a file is removed from the table that has nothing to do with the failed request. Do the copy with the lock held. Faulting in user memory under ->uring_lock is fine, the registration paths do it all the time.

__io_sq_thread() doesn't submit anything as long as the ring has IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED set. The check that keeps the SQPOLL thread from going to sleep while the SQ ring holds entries doesn't know about that. If an application fills in SQEs first and enables the ring later, the thread finds that there is work each time it is about to sleep, goes around, doesn't submit it, and so on. It uses up a CPU until the ring gets enabled. Entries in the SQ ring of a disabled ring are no reason to stay awake. io_register_enable_rings() clears the flag and then wakes the thread, and the flag is looked at after prepare_to_wait(), so the thread can't miss that.

2026-10-15io_uring/kbuf: handle index wrap in last buffer checkJosef Bacik

If head is 65535 and tail has wrapped to 0, that compares 65536 to 0 and the flag isn't set. A bundle receive relies on the flag to tell that there is no point in trying to get more data. Without it, it goes for another round, finds no buffer, and the request, which has received data, is marked as failed on account of the -ENOBUFS. That severs a link, and ends a multishot.

An area can be up to 1TB in size. For every niov beyond the first 4GB the CQE points the application at a buffer 4GB, or a multiple of that, below the one which has the data.

With dynamic tracking a NAPI id that hasn't been seen for a minute is meant to be dropped from the list the ring busy polls. The timeout is added to jiffies, but it is defined as 60 * SEC_CONVERSION, and SEC_CONVERSION isn't the number of jiffies in a second. It is the internal factor of __timespec64_to_jiffies(), HZ scaled up by SEC_JIFFIE_SC bits. For HZ=1000 that is 1000 << 22, which puts the timeout at about eight years. On 32-bit the multiplication overflows. So entries are never removed, and every id that a socket of the ring ever had keeps being polled on each wait.

2026-10-15io_uring/wait: no early -ETIME if min_wait finds workJosef Bacik
When the min wait time is over and there is work to run, which for DEFER_TASKRUN includes task_work that was queued lazily and didn't wake the waiter, io_cqring_min_timer_wakeup() ends the wait via io_cqring_timer_wakeup(). That flags it as timed out. io_cqring_wait() runs the work, leaves the loop, and returns 0 if the CQ ring holds something. Running task_work doesn't have to result in a CQE, though. A poll wake up can turn out to be spurious, for instance if somebody else has read the data by the time the request is retried. The application then gets -ETIME once the min wait time has passed, no matter how far away the timeout it asked for is. Wake the task without declaring a timeout. From now on a single CQE satisfies the wait, like in the case where the timer is switched over to the normal timeout. If running the work doesn't post one, the loop in io_cqring_wait() goes back to sleep with the normal timeout.

2026-10-15io_uring/timeout: use the right clock for ABS updatesJosef Bacik
io_parse_user_time() converts an absolute time from the time namespace of the caller to the host's view, for the clock given by the flags. The flags of IORING_TIMEOUT_UPDATE and IORING_LINK_TIMEOUT_UPDATE can't name a clock, the updated timer keeps running on the clock the timeout was set up with. So the time is always converted as if it was CLOCK_MONOTONIC. In a time namespace with a monotonic offset, that moves the new expiry of a CLOCK_REALTIME timeout by that offset, although the clock isn't affected by time namespaces at all, and the one of a CLOCK_BOOTTIME timeout by the difference between the two offsets. Do the conversion when the timeout has been looked up and its clock is known. The update is run by the submitter, its SQPOLL thread or one of its io-wq workers, all of which share the time namespace.

2026-10-15io_uring/timeout: don't skip over reached sequencesJosef Bacik
io_flush_timeouts() copes with the wrap of the CQ sequence by looking at the distance from ->cq_last_tm_flush. That relies on the target of each pending timeout being at or ahead of the last flush. io_timeout() breaks that. It sets ->cq_last_tm_flush to the current sequence, on the assumption that nothing has been posted since the last flush. That isn't true. A multishot request posts its CQEs right when it is issued or retried, but they are committed, and the timeouts flushed, at the end of the submission or task_work run: X: IORING_OP_TIMEOUT, off == 1 target_seq == N + 1 io_submit_sqes() multishot recv, posts two CQEs sequence == N + 2 Y: IORING_OP_TIMEOUT, off == 100 ->cq_last_tm_flush = N + 2 io_flush_timeouts() X: events_needed = N + 1 - (N + 2) // 0xffffffff events_got = 0 // not yet X isn't completed although the completions it was waiting for have happened, only its timer can end it now. And as the list is sorted and the walk ends at the first timeout that isn't due, it gets in the way of the ones behind it. The insertion sort has the same problem, it measures the distance of the pending targets from the current sequence. ->cq_last_tm_flush only needs to be brought up to date if no timeout is waiting for a sequence, as io_flush_timeouts() isn't called before the first one is set up. Otherwise it is current enough. Timeouts with a sequence come first in the list, so looking at the first entry will do. Use the last flush as the base for the insertion sort as well.

2026-10-15io_uring/register: don't wrap 32b CQEs when resizingJosef Bacik
On an IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED ring, a 32b CQE uses two contiguous CQ entries and is never allowed to wrap the end of the ring. When posting, io_cqe_cache_refill() inserts a dummy IORING_CQE_F_SKIP entry if only one entry is left before the ring wraps, and the application relies on that to read a 32b CQE as one contiguous 32 byte slot. io_register_resize_rings() copies pending CQEs to the new ring one 16b entry at a time, placing entry i at i & (new_entries - 1). When the CQ ring is shrunk, a pending 32b CQE that was contiguous in the old ring can land with its first half on the last entry of the new ring and its second half on entry 0. For example, with 8 old entries, 4 new entries and a 32b CQE at index 3, the halves end up at entries 3 and 0. The application then reads the extra data of that CQE from past the end of the CQ array, and the CQE content it sees is wrong. This was found by code inspection and has not been reproduced. Fix by failing the resize with -EOVERFLOW if a pending 32b CQE would wrap the new ring, the same way the resize fails when the pending CQEs don't fit.

On a ring with IORING_SETUP_SQE_MIXED the cap may fall between the two entries of a 128b SQE. io_init_req() finds that just one entry is left of what it was asked to submit and fails the request with -EINVAL, although the second entry is sitting in the SQ ring. In the next round the second entry is taken for an SQE of its own, so on top of the failed request the application gets whatever its payload amounts to when it is read as an SQE. The application has done nothing wrong, and it can't know where the cap is going to be applied. For SQPOLL, let the request have its second entry if the SQ ring holds it, in excess of the number of entries that were to be submitted.

Without IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED too small means empty. With it, a 32b CQE needs two entries, and one may be left. If the refill then fails, the entry stays in the cache, and the next 16b CQE gets it without any checks. That CQE overtakes the 32b one, which went to the overflow list. The test for IO_CHECK_CQ_OVERFLOW_BIT, which is there to prevent that, is part of the refill: CQ ring with 4 entries, head == 0 16b CQE, 32b CQE tail == 3, one entry cached 32b CQE no room, the CQE overflows 16b CQE written to entry 3, ahead of the 32b CQE Forget about the rest of the cache when it is refilled.

2026-10-15io_uring/futex: allocate private hash before waitingJosef Bacik
The futex code relies on there being no private futex waiters by the time the first private hash of a mm is installed: __futex_pivot_hash() moves the waiters from the previous private hash to the new one, but it does not look for them in the global hash which is used as long as there is no private hash. That is why every clone(CLONE_VM) allocates it up front: a task which is alone in its mm cannot block in futex_wait() and create a thread or invoke prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH) at the same time. IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT and IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV do not block the submitter though: io_uring_enter() io_futex_wait() futex_wait_setup() // no private hash: queued in the global hash pthread_create() futex_hash_allocate_default() __futex_pivot_hash() // first private hash, nothing is moved futex(FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE) futex_hash() // private hash: no waiter The wakeup is lost and the request only completes when it is cancelled. prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_SET_SLOTS, n) instead of pthread_create() has the same effect. Allocate the default private hash when a wait request on a private futex is prepared, which happens in the context of the submitter. This is a RCU protected pointer check once the hash exists. A failure to allocate it fails the request with -ENOMEM.

2026-10-15io_uring/poll: drop stale double poll entry on rearmJosef Bacik
A file that uses two wait queues for poll, e.g. a tty, gets a second io_poll entry, which IORING_OP_POLL_ADD keeps in ->async_data until the request is freed. io_poll_add() can run more than once for a request though: IORING_OP_POLL_REMOVE with one of the update flags disarms and rearms it, and io_poll_task_func() reissues it if a wake up turns out to be spurious. The second poll_wait() of the new round then finds *poll_ptr set, with ->head cleared by the disarm, and __io_queue_proc() fails what it takes for a third wait queue with -EINVAL. For an update that means that the poll request is completed with -ECANCELED, while the update itself reports success. For a spurious wake up, e.g. tcsetattr() on the polled tty, the poll request fails with -EINVAL. Free the old entry and clear the poll flags before arming, which is what io_arm_apoll() does for internal polling. All entries have been removed from their wait queues at that point.

2026-10-15io_uring/wait: look at all CQ waiters on wake upJosef Bacik
io_wake_function() returns -1 if the waiter it is called for doesn't have enough events yet, which makes __wake_up_common() stop walking the wait queue. That assumes that the waiters behind it can't be satisfied either. Each waiter has its own target though, computed from the min_complete it passed in: thread A: io_uring_enter(GETEVENTS, min_complete = 10) // queued first thread B: io_uring_enter(GETEVENTS, min_complete = 1) one CQE is posted: A isn't woken, and B isn't even considered B keeps sleeping with the event it asked for sitting in the CQ ring, until A's demand is met or a timeout or signal ends the wait. Return 0 to carry on with the next waiter. Only waiters whose condition is met are woken, like before.

2026-10-15io_uring: wake ring pollers for local task_workJosef Bacik
With IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN completions are queued as local work, and only become CQEs when the submitter enters the kernel to wait for events. For an application that finds out via poll() or epoll on the ring fd when it is time to do that, io_uring_poll() reports EPOLLIN if local work is pending. That only helps if the work is there at the time of the call. When DEFER_TASKRUN was added, io_req_local_work_add() did io_cqring_wake(), which took care of tasks sleeping in poll() as well. Then polling got a wait queue of its own, ->poll_wq, and the wake up in io_req_local_work_add() was replaced by waking the submitter directly. Since then ->poll_wq is only woken when CQEs are committed, which for such a ring is done by the very task that is waiting to be told to: submitter completion poll(ring_fd) io_uring_poll() // nothing yet schedule() io_req_local_work_add() // ->cq_wait_nr: nobody waits // sleeps on Wake ->poll_wq when the first entry is put on the work list. Like for the eventfd, that must not be done right away if the work is queued from a wake up handler, as the chain of wake ups could get back to the wait queue whose lock is held. Use an RCU callback in that case, with a reference to the ring.

2026-10-15io_uring/cancel: let CANCEL_ALL find parked requestsJosef Bacik
A cancellation with IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_ALL or _ANY goes on until it finds nothing more. A request may stay where it was found for a while after it has been cancelled, so each one that matches is stamped with the sequence number of the cancellation, and is skipped from then on. io_cancel_cb() does so for io-wq work as well. There is no need to: pending work is taken off the list, and the workers are looked at once per call. And it does harm. A request that is run by io-wq may be parked while it still is the current work of the worker: poll gets armed for it, or it is put on ->futex_list or ->waitid_list. io-wq worker io_try_cancel() io_wq_submit_work() io_arm_poll_handler() io_poll_add_hash() io_async_cancel_one() io_cancel_cb() stamps the request sets IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL = -EALREADY io_poll_cancel() skips the request = -ENOENT io_assign_current_work(NULL) The flag comes too late for the worker to see it, and the search that would have found the request takes it for done. The cancellation returns, and the request stays. With a multishot poll, IOSQE_ASYNC, and IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL with IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_ALL up to 63us later, that happens to 4 of 1,000 requests (4 CPUs, KVM). Take the stamp off again if the work matches. If the request is found on one of the lists it gets a new one, and io_cancel_cb() doesn't match it a second time. __io_async_cancel() tries the io-wq of the caller twice. So far the stamp has kept it from counting work that is running there the second time. Skip it instead, so that the number that is returned stays the same.

2026-10-15io_uring/cancel: recognize "no timeout" on 32-bitJosef Bacik
IORING_REGISTER_SYNC_CANCEL waits without a limit if both fields of io_uring_sync_cancel_reg::timeout are -1. io_sync_cancel() compares them with -1UL. They are of type long long. With a long of 32 bits -1UL is 4294967295, which is what it stays when it is converted for the comparison, and the fields are never equal to it. So { -1, -1 } is taken for a timeout. ktime_set() takes the nanoseconds as an unsigned long, so what becomes of it is -1s + 4294967295ns = 3.29s. If the request is being run by io-wq and can't be interrupted, the call returns -ETIME after that time, rather than waiting for the request to be gone. On i386, with a buffered read from a null_blk device that takes 4s to complete a request, IOSQE_ASYNC, that is what each call does.

2026-10-15io_uring/cancel: don't forget that the work was runningJosef Bacik
If the request to be cancelled is being run by io-wq, io_async_cancel_one() flags the work, signals the worker and returns -EALREADY. Since commit ccbf726171b7 ("io_uring: perform poll removal even if async work removal is successful") io_try_cancel() goes on regardless, as poll may be armed for the request. If it isn't, and nothing else turns up, the result is the -ENOENT of the last search. __io_async_cancel() makes up for that. On -ENOENT it tries the io-wq of every task that uses the ring, and that of the caller is one of them. So the work is found a second time, and the result is -EALREADY after all. Unless the worker is done with it by then. If the work is flagged before io_wq_submit_work() looks at IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL, all the worker does is to queue the request to be failed by task work. Then it isn't anywhere to be found until the task work has run, and - IORING_REGISTER_SYNC_CANCEL returns -ENOENT, - IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL completes with -ENOENT, for a request that they have just cancelled, and that completes with -ECANCELED. With a read of an empty pipe, IOSQE_ASYNC, and a sync cancel right behind it, 1 to 3 of 1,000,000 calls return -ENOENT, and 50 to 110 with IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN (4 CPUs, KVM). Nothing is written to the pipe, and all of these reads end with -ECANCELED. Remember that the work was found. IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL completes with -EALREADY, as it does if the worker is a bit slower. For IORING_REGISTER_SYNC_CANCEL it means to try again, which ends with 0. The result of a linked timeout, which calls io_try_cancel() by itself, and the number that is returned for IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_ALL and _ANY don't change.

2026-10-15io_uring: don't lose a cancel as io-wq parks a requestJosef Bacik
IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT, IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV and IORING_OP_WAITID don't block. They put the request on a list of the ring, where a wake up or a cancellation finds it, and return IOU_ISSUE_SKIP_COMPLETE. They do so as well if they are run by io-wq, e.g. because of IOSQE_ASYNC. io_wq_submit_work() looks at IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL once, before it issues the request. Somebody who wants to cancel the request after that, and before it is on the list, finds it running: io-wq worker io_try_cancel() io_wq_submit_work() IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL isn't set io_async_cancel_one() sets IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL signals the worker = -EALREADY ... io_futex_cancel() = -ENOENT ... io_futex_wait() adds the request to ->futex_list = IOU_ISSUE_SKIP_COMPLETE Nobody looks at the flag again. IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL returns -EALREADY and the request stays. It is the problem that "io_uring/poll: don't lose a cancel as io-wq arms poll" deals with for poll. Look at the flag once the request is on the list, and cancel it if it is set. The lists are searched and the requests are added with ->uring_lock held, and the flag is set before the search. So either the search finds the request, or it came first and the flag is seen. What the canceller is told doesn't change, see the other patch, also for IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_ALL and _ANY.

2026-10-15io_uring/poll: don't lose a cancel as io-wq arms pollJosef Bacik
A request on a pollable file that was forced to io-wq is issued without blocking there. If that ends in -EAGAIN, io_wq_submit_work() arms poll for it and returns. It looks at IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL once, before it issues the request. Somebody who wants to cancel the request in between finds it running: io-wq worker io_try_cancel() io_wq_submit_work() IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL isn't set io_issue_sqe() = -EAGAIN io_async_cancel_one() sets IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL signals the worker = -EALREADY io_poll_cancel() = -ENOENT ... = -ENOENT io_arm_poll_handler() = IO_APOLL_OK return Nobody looks at the flag again, and the signal doesn't matter to a worker that doesn't sleep. The request is armed as if nothing had happened: - a linked timeout completes with -ENOENT, and the request it was meant to limit waits for as long as it takes. - IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL returns -EALREADY, and the request stays. - IORING_REGISTER_SYNC_CANCEL waits for the request to complete if it gets -EALREADY. Since commit 5623eb1ed035 ("io_uring/tctx: add separate lock for list of tctx's in ctx") it doesn't sleep but spins, so its next attempt finds the armed poll. The same goes for a multishot poll, recv or accept that is armed from io-wq. With a read of an empty pipe, IOSQE_ASYNC, and a linked timeout of 5ms or a cancel in the same submission, in a guest that is slow enough (TCG, KASAN), the request is lost in 21 of 24 rounds of 40 or 100 attempts. While it arms poll from io-wq, __io_arm_poll_handler() owns the request. Look at the flag once the request is in the hash table. The table is searched and the request is added with ->uring_lock held, and the flag is set before the search. So either the search finds the request, or it came first and the flag is seen. With the request marked as cancelled, the task work that is queued, right away or because ownership can't be released, fails it with -ECANCELED. What the canceller is told doesn't change. In this window a linked timeout still completes with -ENOENT rather than -ETIME, a cancel request with -EALREADY, and one with IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_ALL or _ANY with a count that doesn't include the request. But the request is cancelled, so what is new is a request that completes with -ECANCELED after such a result. This doesn't help in two cases: - IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_ALL and _ANY, if the work is flagged after the test added here, while io-wq still has it as the current work of the worker. io_cancel_cb() stamps it with the sequence of the cancel, so the search of the hash table on behalf of the same cancel takes it for done and skips it. - requests that are parked elsewhere by io-wq, like IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT and IORING_OP_WAITID. They have the same problem.

2026-10-15io_uring/io-wq: let cancel find picked up hashed workJosef Bacik
io_get_next_work() takes all the work items that share a hash off the work list in one go, and the worker runs them one after the other. Only the one it is working on is visible as ->cur_work. The others are neither on the list nor current, so io_wq_cancel_cb() can't find them. IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL and IORING_REGISTER_SYNC_CANCEL return -ENOENT for a request that has not even been started, e.g. a buffered write queued behind another write to the same file that is blocked, and the request is carried out. The cancellation done for a task or ring that goes away gets there in the end, as it keeps trying, but it has to wait for each item to become current. Keep a pointer to the remainder of the chain next to ->cur_work, and have io_wq_worker_cancel() look at it. The items on it belong to the worker, which needs ->lock to move on to the next one. Matching work is flagged with IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL and fails with -ECANCELED when its turn comes. The worker isn't signalled for it, that would interrupt the unrelated work it is busy with. As the request isn't gone yet, it is reported like running work, with -EALREADY.

2026-10-15io_uring/io-wq: don't exit with a creation pendingJosef Bacik
A worker that is the last one to go to sleep while work is pending asks for another worker. io_wq_dec_running() bumps ->nr_running on behalf of the new worker and queues create_worker_cb() as task_work for the owner of the io-wq. Until that has run, everybody else takes it that a worker is running which is going to look after the work list: io_wq_enqueue() doesn't create one, and other workers that go to sleep don't find themselves to be the last. If the worker that made the request exits, io_worker_exit() cancels the task_work, and io_worker_cancel_cb() drops ->nr_running without a look at the work list: worker A worker B io_wq_enqueue() blocks, work is pending nr_running++ queues create_worker_cb() wakes, handles the work idle timeout, decides to exit picks up work 1 queues work 2 B is on the free list still: wakes B work 1 blocks nr_running 2 -> 1 io_worker_exit() io_worker_cancel_cb() nr_running 1 -> 0 Work 2 has to wait for work 1, although there is room for more workers. It takes an owner that doesn't get around to run its task_work for the time of the idle timeout, less if the worker exits because its affinity was changed or the io-wq is marked exit-on-idle. Let the worker stay around until its request has been dealt with. Only the worker itself sets ->create_state, so it can't be set behind its back once it has decided to leave.
