Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring/rsrc: don't lock while !TASK_RUNNING There is a report of io_rsrc_ref_quiesce() locking a mutex while not TASK_RUNNING, which is due to forgetting restoring the state back after io_run_task_work_sig() and attempts to break out of the waiting loop. do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<ffffffff815d2494>] prepare_to_wait+0xa4/0x380 kernel/sched/wait.c:237 WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 397056 at kernel/sched/core.c:10099 __might_sleep+0x114/0x160 kernel/sched/core.c:10099 RIP: 0010:__might_sleep+0x114/0x160 kernel/sched/core.c:10099 Call Trace: <TASK> __mutex_lock_common kernel/locking/mutex.c:585 [inline] __mutex_lock+0xb4/0x940 kernel/locking/mutex.c:752 io_rsrc_ref_quiesce+0x590/0x940 io_uring/rsrc.c:253 io_sqe_buffers_unregister+0xa2/0x340 io_uring/rsrc.c:799 __io_uring_register io_uring/register.c:424 [inline] __do_sys_io_uring_register+0x5b9/0x2400 io_uring/register.c:613 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xd8/0x270 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6f/0x77
