It assumes the task is that ring's\nsubmitter and that the next io_uring_try_cancel_requests() pass will run\nthe work. This does not hold for a ring that was still\nIORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED when the task got its tctx node from\nio_uring_create() or io_ringfd_register(). The submitter is set later by\nIORING_REGISTER_ENABLE_RINGS, possibly from another task, and only the\nsubmitter may run local work on an IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN ring. To\nthe exiting task the work stays pending forever, the loop never reaches\nschedule(), and the task trips the WARN_ON_ONCE() once and then spins in\ndo_exit().\n\nAn unprivileged user can set this up at will by creating a disabled\nring, having a child enable it and stop, posting to the ring with\nIORING_OP_MSG_RING and exiting with a request in flight that only the\nchild can complete. The exiting thread burns a CPU until the child runs\nor dies, and with panic_on_warn set the WARN panics the kernel.\n\nFix by skipping the sleep only when io_allowed_defer_tw_run() allows the\ntask to run the work. This is reasonable since work it cannot run cannot\ncomplete any of its requests either, so nothing is lost by sleeping.\nDrop the WARN_ON_ONCE() since handing a disabled ring to another thread\nis a supported scenario, not a bug state."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["io_uring/cancel.c"],"versions":[{"version":"360cd42c4e95ff06d8d7b0a54e42236c7e7c187f","lessThan":"64e196a6d7173667a2a0fe2f191bc64eecd07778","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"360cd42c4e95ff06d8d7b0a54e42236c7e7c187f","lessThan":"8a241d7ca23be2695a1fbe587ee12eae061c31af","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"360cd42c4e95ff06d8d7b0a54e42236c7e7c187f","lessThan":"94d13387b96e50a4288f7bbdfe401189246a11a1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"360cd42c4e95ff06d8d7b0a54e42236c7e7c187f","lessThan":"3005459e0ddfcef0f555b6e81f672f2c49a1c0aa","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"360cd42c4e95ff06d8d7b0a54e42236c7e7c187f","lessThan":"fddcf4c5321b3ea5f72166c3fd36a9d1c34f80c7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["io_uring/cancel.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.4","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.4","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.161","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.115","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.59","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.13","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.4","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.161"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.4","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.115"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.4","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.59"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.4","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.13"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.4","versionEndExcluding":"7.3"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/64e196a6d7173667a2a0fe2f191bc64eecd07778"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a241d7ca23be2695a1fbe587ee12eae061c31af"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/94d13387b96e50a4288f7bbdfe401189246a11a1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3005459e0ddfcef0f555b6e81f672f2c49a1c0aa"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fddcf4c5321b3ea5f72166c3fd36a9d1c34f80c7"}],"title":"io_uring/cancel: don't spin on local work the task can't run","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
