Subject: io_uring/rw: free potentially allocated iovec on cache put failure
X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc7~27^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4b9748055457ac3a0710bf210c229d01ea1b01b9;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

io_uring/rw: free potentially allocated iovec on cache put failure

If a read/write request goes through io_req_rw_cleanup() and has an
allocated iovec attached and fails to put to the rw_cache, then it may
end up with an unaccounted iovec pointer. Have io_rw_recycle() return
whether it recycled the request or not, and use that to gauge whether to
free a potential iovec or not.
