Subject: io_uring: use release-acquire ordering for IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a8737e1132ff07ca225aa7a4008f87319b5b1ca;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

io_uring: use release-acquire ordering for IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED

io_uring_enter(), __io_msg_ring_data(), and io_msg_send_fd() read
ctx->flags and ctx->submitter_task without holding the ctx's uring_lock.
This means they may race with the assignment to ctx->submitter_task and
the clearing of IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED from ctx->flags in
io_register_enable_rings(). Ensure the correct ordering of the
ctx->flags and ctx->submitter_task memory accesses by storing to
ctx->flags using release ordering and loading it using acquire ordering.
