io_uring: fix io_kiocb.flags modification race in IOPOLL mode
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
While testing io_uring in arm, we found sometimes io_sq_thread() keeps
polling io requests even though there are not inflight io requests in
block layer. After some investigations, found a possible race about
io_kiocb.flags, see below race codes:
  1) in the end of io_write() or io_read()
    req->flags &= ~REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP;
    kfree(iovec);
    return ret;

  2) in io_complete_rw_iopoll()
    if (res != -EAGAIN)
        req->flags |= REQ_F_IOPOLL_COMPLETED;

In IOPOLL mode, io requests still maybe completed by interrupt, then
above codes are not safe, concurrent modifications to req->flags, which
is not protected by lock or is not atomic modifications. I also had
disassemble io_complete_rw_iopoll() in arm:
   req->flags |= REQ_F_IOPOLL_COMPLETED;
   0xffff000008387b18 <+76>:    ldr     w0, [x19,torvalds#104]
   0xffff000008387b1c <+80>:    orr     w0, w0, #0x1000
   0xffff000008387b20 <+84>:    str     w0, [x19,torvalds#104]

Seems that the "req->flags |= REQ_F_IOPOLL_COMPLETED;" is  load and
modification, two instructions, which obviously is not atomic.

To fix this issue, add a new iopoll_completed in io_kiocb to indicate
whether io request is completed.
