[PATCH 5.3 139/197] io_uring: Fix race for sqes with userspace

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Oct 27 2019 - 17:27:08 EST


From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 935d1e45908afb8853c497f2c2bbbb685dec51dc ]

io_ring_submit() finalises with
1. io_commit_sqring(), which releases sqes to the userspace
2. Then calls to io_queue_link_head(), accessing released head's sqe

Reorder them.
