io_uring: ensure req->submit is copied when req is deferred There's an issue with deferred requests through drain, where if we do need to defer, we're not copying over the sqe_submit state correctly. This can result in using uninitialized data when we then later go and submit the deferred request, like this check in __io_submit_sqe(): if (unlikely(s->index >= ctx->sq_entries)) return -EINVAL; with 's' being uninitialized, we can randomly fail this check. Fix this by copying sqe_submit state when we defer a request. Because it was fixed as part of a cleanup series in mainline, before anyone realized we had this issue. That removed the separate states of ->index vs ->submit.sqe. That series is not something I was comfortable putting into stable, hence the much simpler addition. Here's the patch in the series that fixes the same issue: commit cf6fd4bd559ee61a4454b161863c8de6f30f8dca Author: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com> Date: Mon Nov 25 23:14:39 2019 +0300 io_uring: inline struct sqe_submit Reported-by: Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de> Reported-by: Tomáš Chaloupka Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
