From 838b35bb6a89c36da07ca39520ec071d9250334d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2023 14:39:06 -0600 Subject: io_uring/rw: disable IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP If an application does O_DIRECT writes with io_uring and the file system supports IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP, then completions of the dio write side is done from the task_work that will post the completion event for said write as well. Whenever a dio write is done against a file, the inode i_dio_count is elevated. This enables other callers to use inode_dio_wait() to wait for previous writes to complete. If we defer the full dio completion to task_work, we are dependent on that task_work being run before the inode i_dio_count can be decremented. If the same task that issues io_uring dio writes with IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP performs a synchronous system call that calls inode_dio_wait(), then we can deadlock as we're blocked sleeping on the event to become true, but not processing the completions that will result in the inode i_dio_count being decremented. Until we can guarantee that this is the case, then disable the deferred caller completions.
