[PATCH v5] aio: Add support for the POLLFREE - Linux-stable-mirror

27 Oct 2021

Add support for the POLLFREE flag to force complete iocb inline in
aio_poll_wake(). A thread may use it to signal it's exit and/or request
to cleanup while pending poll request. In this case, aio_poll_wake()
needs to make sure it doesn't keep any reference to the queue entry
before returning from wake to avoid possible use after free via
poll_cancel() path.
UAF issue was found during binder and aio interactions in certain
sequence of events [1].
The POLLFREE flag is no more exclusive to the epoll and is being
shared with the aio. Remove comment from poll.h to avoid confusion.
