From c9a40292a44e78f71258b8522655bffaf5753bdb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe axboe@kernel.dk Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2025 10:28:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/eventfd: ensure io_eventfd_signal() defers another RCU period
io_eventfd_do_signal() is invoked from an RCU callback, but when dropping the reference to the io_ev_fd, it calls io_eventfd_free() directly if the refcount drops to zero. This isn't correct, as any potential freeing of the io_ev_fd should be deferred another RCU grace period.
Just call io_eventfd_put() rather than open-code the dec-and-test and free, which will correctly defer it another RCU grace period.
