[PATCH 5.4 06/85] io_uring: Fix missing smp_mb() in io_cancel_async_work()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 12 2020 - 09:41:11 EST


From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The store to req->flags and load req->work_task should not be
reordering in io_cancel_async_work(). We should make sure that
either we store REQ_F_CANCE flag to req->flags or we see the
req->work_task setted in io_sq_wq_submit_work().

Fixes: 1c4404efcf2c ("io_uring: make sure async workqueue is canceled on exit")
