git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe: - Rework the task_work infrastructure. Both the local (DEFER_TASKRUN) and the normal (tctx) task_work lists were llist based, which is LIFO ordered, and hence each run had to do an O(n) list reversal pass first to restore queue order. Additionally, to cap the amount of task_work run, each method needed a retry list as well. Add a lockless MPCS FIFO queue (based on Dmitry Vyukov's intrusive MPSC algorithm) and switch both task_work lists to it. It performs better than llists and we can then also ditch the retry lists as well as entries are popped one-at-the-time. On top of those changes, run the tctx fallback task_work directly and remove the now-unused per-ctx fallback machinery entirely. - zcrx user notifications. Add a mechanism for zcrx to communicate conditions back to userspace via a dedicated CQE, with the initial users being notification on running out of buffers and on a frag copy fallback, plus shared-memory notification statistics. Alongside that, a series of zcrx reliability and cleanup fixes: more reliable scrubbing, poisoning pointers on unregistration, dropping an extra ifq close, adding a ctx back-pointer, reordering fd allocation in the export path, and killing a dead 'sock' member. - Allow using io_uring registered buffers for plain SEND and RECV, not just for the zero-copy send path. This enables targets like ublk's NBD backend to push/pull IO data directly to/from a registered buffer over a plain send/recv on a TCP socket. - Registered buffer improvements: account huge pages correctly, bump the io_mapped_ubuf length field to size_t, and raise the previous 1GB registered buffer size limit. - Restrict the ctx access exposed to io_uring BPF struct_ops programs by handing them an opaque type rather than the full io_ring_ctx, and add a separate MAINTAINERS entry for the bpf-ops code. - Allow opcode filtering on IORING_OP_CONNECT. - Validate ring-provided buffer addresses with access_ok(), and align the legacy buffer add limit with MAX_BIDS_PER_BGID. - Various other cleanups and minor fixes, including avoiding msghdr async data on connect/bind, dropping async_size for OP_LISTEN, making the POLL_FIRST receive side checks consistent, re-checking IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT for each linked work item, and using trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites. * tag 'for-7.2/io_uring-20260615' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: (31 commits) io_uring/bpf-ops: add a separate maintainer entry io_uring/net: make POLL_FIRST receive side checks consistent io_uring: remove the per-ctx fallback task_work machinery io_uring: run the tctx task_work fallback directly io_uring: switch normal task_work to a mpscq io_uring: switch local task_work to a mpscq io_uring/mpscq: add lockless multi-producer, single-consumer FIFO queue io_uring: grab RCU read lock marking task run io_uring/zcrx: kill dead 'sock' member in struct io_zcrx_args io_uring/kbuf: validate ring provided buffer addresses with access_ok() io_uring/net: support registered buffer for plain send and recv io_uring/nop: Drop a wrong comment in struct io_nop io_uring/net: Remove async_size for OP_LISTEN io_uring/net: Avoid msghdr on op_connect/op_bind async data io_uring/bpf-ops: restrict ctx access to BPF io_uring/io-wq: re-check IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT for each linked work item io_uring/kbuf: align legacy buffer add limit with MAX_BIDS_PER_BGID io_uring/zcrx: add shared-memory notification statistics io_uring/zcrx: notify user on frag copy fallback io_uring/zcrx: notify user when out of buffers ...

2026-06-13io_uring: remove the per-ctx fallback task_work machineryJens Axboe
With the tctx fallback running its entries directly, the per-ctx fallback work has a single user left: moving local (DEFER_TASKRUN) task_work entries out of a ring that is going away. Both of its call sites are process context and don't hold ->uring_lock, the same conditions the deferred fallback work itself ran under - so run the entries in cancel mode right there instead, and rename the helper to io_cancel_local_task_work() to match what it now does. With that, ->fallback_llist, ->fallback_work, io_fallback_req_func() and __io_fallback_tw() can all go away, along with the fallback work flushing in the ring exit and cancel paths. Requests that get orphaned by an exiting task now run via the tctx fallback work, which the ring exit side implicitly waits on through the ctx refs those requests hold.

2026-06-13io_uring: switch local task_work to a mpscqJens Axboe
The local (DEFER_TASKRUN) task_work list is an llist, which is LIFO ordered, and hence __io_run_local_work() has to restore the right running order with an O(n) llist_reverse_order() pass first. On top of that, a batch that gets capped by max_events needs the leftover entries parked on a separate ->retry_llist, as they can't be pushed back to the shared list. Switch it to the FIFO mpscq. Adds are wait-free instead of a cmpxchg retry loop, entries are popped in queue order with no reversal pass, capping a run simply leaves the remainder on the queue, and ->retry_llist goes away entirely. The consumer cursor, ->work_head, lives with the rest of the ->uring_lock protected state rather than next to the queue, so that popping entries doesn't dirty the producer side cacheline. For low amounts of task_work, this ends up being a bit more efficient than the existing scheme. As an example of that, doing multishot receives for 8 clients has the following task_work overhead: 1.02% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] io_req_local_work_add 0.88% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __io_run_local_work_loop 0.60% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] llist_reverse_order 0.14% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __io_run_local_work 2.64% at ~46Gb/sec and after this change: 1.08% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] io_req_local_work_add 1.03% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __io_run_local_work 2.11% at ~53Gb/sec which has less overhead even though that test run was faster. For a case of having 1024 clients on a single ring: 2.22% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] llist_reverse_order 0.84% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __io_run_local_work_loop 0.42% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] io_req_local_work_add 0.02% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __io_run_local_work 3.50% at ~24Gb/sec we start to see the llist reversing taking a considerable amount of time, and the total add+run task_work overhead is around 3.5%. After the change: 0.90% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __io_run_local_work 0.42% sock-test [kernel.kallsyms] [k] io_req_local_work_add 1.32% at ~26Gb/sec most of that overhead is gone, and performance is better as well. Caleb Sander Mateos <csander@purestorage.com> reports that it improves the performance of a ublk 4kb workload by 4% [1], while testing v1 of this patchset.

2026-06-03mm/slab: improve kmem_cache_alloc_bulkChristoph Hellwig
The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk return value is weird. It returns the number of allocated objects, but that must always be 0 or the requested number based on the implementations and the handling in the callers, but that assumption is not actually documented anywhere, which confuses automated review tools. Fix this by returning a bool if the allocation succeeded and adding a kerneldoc comment explaining the API.

2026-05-26io_uring/zcrx: notify user when out of buffersPavel Begunkov
There are currently no easy ways for the user to know if zcrx is out of buffers and page pool fails to allocate. Add uapi for zcrx to communicate it back. It's implemented as a separate CQE, which for now is posted to the creator ctx. To use it, on registration the user space needs to pass an instance of struct zcrx_notification_desc, which tells the kernel the user_data for resulting CQEs and which event types are expected / allowed. When an allowed event happens, zcrx will post a CQE containing the specified user_data, and lower bits of cqe->res will be set to the event mask. Before the kernel could post another notification of the given type, the user needs to acknowledge that it processed the previous one by issuing IORING_REGISTER_ZCRX_CTRL with ZCRX_CTRL_ARM_NOTIFICATION. The only notification type the patch implements is ZCRX_NOTIF_NO_BUFFERS, but we'll need more of them in the future.

2026-05-18io_uring: propagate array_index_nospec opcode into req->opcodeMichael Bommarito
Commit 1e988c3fe126 ("io_uring: prevent opcode speculation") added array_index_nospec() to io_init_req(), but applied it only to a local opcode variable. req->opcode is initialized from sqe->opcode before the bounds check and remains the raw value. Keep req->opcode as the canonical opcode in io_init_req(): reject out-of-range values architecturally, then write the array_index_nospec() result back to req->opcode before any table lookup. This keeps downstream users of req->opcode from observing the raw user byte on a mispredicted path. No functional change: array_index_nospec() is a no-op for opcodes in [0, IORING_OP_LAST), and out-of-range opcodes are still rejected at the bounds check above the assignment.

2026-05-14io_uring/rsrc: add huge page accounting for registered buffersJens Axboe
Track huge page references in a per-ring xarray to prevent double accounting when the same huge page is used by multiple registered buffers, either within the same ring or across cloned rings. When registering buffers backed by huge pages, we need to account for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. But if multiple buffers share the same huge page (common with cloned buffers), we must not account for the same page multiple times. Similarly, we must only unaccount when the last reference to a huge page is released. Maintain a per-ring xarray (hpage_acct) that tracks reference counts for each huge page. When registering a buffer, for each unique huge page, increment its accounting reference count, and only account pages that are newly added. When unregistering a buffer, for each unique huge page, decrement its refcount. Once the refcount hits zero, the page is unaccounted. Note: any account is done against the ctx->user that was assigned when the ring was setup. As before, if root is running the operation, no accounting is done. With these changes, any use of imu->acct_pages is also dead, hence kill it from struct io_mapped_ubuf. This shrinks it from 56b to 48b on a 64-bit arch. Additionally, hpage_already_acct() is gone, which was an O(M*M) scan over current + previous registrations. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2026-05-13io_uring: validate user-controlled cq.head in io_cqe_cache_refill()Zizhi Wo
A fuzzing run reproduced an unkillable io_uring task stuck at ~100% CPU: [root@fedora io_uring_stress]# ps -ef | grep io_uring root 1240 1 99 13:36 ? 00:01:35 [io_uring_stress] <defunct> The task loops inside io_cqring_wait() and never returns to userspace, and SIGKILL has no effect. This is caused by the CQ ring exposing rings->cq.head to userspace as writable, while the authoritative tail lives in kernel-private ctx->cached_cq_tail. io_cqe_cache_refill() computes free space as an unsigned subtraction: free = ctx->cq_entries - min(tail - head, ctx->cq_entries); If userspace keeps head within [0, tail], the subtraction is well defined and min() just acts as a defensive clamp. But if userspace advances head past tail, (tail - head) wraps to a huge value, free becomes 0, and io_cqe_cache_refill() fails. The CQE is pushed onto the overflow list and IO_CHECK_CQ_OVERFLOW_BIT is set. The wait loop in io_cqring_wait() relies on an invariant: refill() only fails when the CQ is *physically* full, in which case rings->cq.tail has been advanced to iowq->cq_tail and io_should_wake() returns true. The tampered head breaks this: refill() fails while the ring is not full, no OCQE is copied in, rings->cq.tail never catches up, io_should_wake() stays false, and io_cqring_wait_schedule() keeps returning early because IO_CHECK_CQ_OVERFLOW_BIT is still set. The result is a tight retry loop that never returns to userspace. Introduce io_cqring_queued() as the single point that converts the (tail, head) pair into a trustworthy queued count. Since the real head/tail distance is bounded by cq_entries (far below 2^31), a signed comparison reliably detects userspace moving head past tail; in that case treat the queue as empty so callers see the full cache as free and forward progress is preserved.

Commit 96189080265e addressed one case of ctx->rings being potentially accessed while a resize is happening on the ring, but there are still a few others that need handling. Add a helper for retrieving the rings associated with an io_uring context, and add some sanity checking to that to catch bad uses. ->rings_rcu is always valid, as long as it's used within RCU read lock. Any use of ->rings_rcu or ->rings inside either ->uring_lock or ->completion_lock is sane as well. Do the minimum fix for the current kernel, but set it up such that this basic infra can be extended for later kernels to make this harder to mess up in the future.

2026-03-16io_uring: introduce callback driven main loopPavel Begunkov
The io_uring_enter() has a fixed order of execution: it submits requests, waits for completions, and returns to the user. Allow to optionally replace it with a custom loop driven by a callback called loop_step. The basic requirements to the callback is that it should be able to submit requests, wait for completions, parse them and repeat. Most of the communication including parameter passing can be implemented via shared memory. The callback should return IOU_LOOP_CONTINUE to continue execution or IOU_LOOP_STOP to return to the user space. Note that the kernel may decide to prematurely terminate it as well, e.g. in case the process was signalled or killed. The hook takes a structure with parameters. It can be used to ask the kernel to wait for CQEs by setting cq_wait_idx to the CQE index it wants to wait for. Spurious wake ups are possible and even likely, the callback is expected to handle it. There will be more parameters in the future like timeout. It can be used with kernel callbacks, for example, as a slow path deprecation mechanism overwiting SQEs and emulating the wanted behaviour, however it's more useful together with BPF programs implemented in following patches. Note that keeping it separately from the normal io_uring wait loop makes things much simpler and cleaner. It keeps it in one place instead of spreading a bunch of checks in different places including disabling the submission path. It holds the lock by default, which is a better fit for BPF synchronisation and the loop execution model. It nicely avoids existing quirks like forced wake ups on timeout request completion. And it should be easier to implement new features.

2026-03-16io_uring: count CQEs in io_iopoll_check()Caleb Sander Mateos
A subsequent commit will allow uring_cmds that don't use iopoll on IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL io_urings. As a result, CQEs can be posted without setting the iopoll_completed flag for a request in iopoll_list or going through task work. For example, a UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS command could call io_uring_mshot_cmd_post_cqe() to directly post a CQE. The io_iopoll_check() loop currently only counts completions posted in io_do_iopoll() when determining whether the min_events threshold has been met. It also exits early if there are any existing CQEs before polling, or if any CQEs are posted while running task work. CQEs posted via io_uring_mshot_cmd_post_cqe() or other mechanisms won't be counted against min_events. Explicitly check the available CQEs in each io_iopoll_check() loop iteration to account for CQEs posted in any fashion.

The opcode iopoll_queue flag is now redundant with REQ_F_IOPOLL. Only io_{read,write}{,_fixed}() and io_uring_cmd() set the REQ_F_IOPOLL flag, and the opcodes with these ->issue() implementations are precisely the ones that set iopoll_queue.

2026-03-16io_uring: add REQ_F_IOPOLLCaleb Sander Mateos
A subsequent commit will allow uring_cmds to files that don't implement ->uring_cmd_iopoll() to be issued to IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL io_urings. This means the ctx's IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL flag isn't sufficient to determine whether a given request needs to be iopolled. Introduce a request flag REQ_F_IOPOLL set in ->issue() if a request needs to be iopolled to completion. Set the flag in io_rw_init_file() and io_uring_cmd() for requests issued to IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL ctxs. Use the request flag instead of IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL in places dealing with a specific request. A future possibility would be to add an option to enable/disable iopoll in the io_uring SQE instead of determining it from IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL.

2026-03-11io_uring: fix physical SQE bounds check for SQE_MIXED 128-byte opsTom Ryan
When IORING_SETUP_SQE_MIXED is used without IORING_SETUP_NO_SQARRAY, the boundary check for 128-byte SQE operations in io_init_req() validated the logical SQ head position rather than the physical SQE index. The existing check: !(ctx->cached_sq_head & (ctx->sq_entries - 1)) ensures the logical position isn't at the end of the ring, which is correct for NO_SQARRAY rings where physical == logical. However, when sq_array is present, an unprivileged user can remap any logical position to an arbitrary physical index via sq_array. Setting sq_array[N] = sq_entries - 1 places a 128-byte operation at the last physical SQE slot, causing the 128-byte memcpy in io_uring_cmd_sqe_copy() to read 64 bytes past the end of the SQE array. Replace the cached_sq_head alignment check with a direct validation of the physical SQE index, which correctly handles both sq_array and NO_SQARRAY cases.

2026-03-11io_uring: ensure ctx->rings is stable for task work flags manipulationJens Axboe
If DEFER_TASKRUN | SETUP_TASKRUN is used and task work is added while the ring is being resized, it's possible for the OR'ing of IORING_SQ_TASKRUN to happen in the small window of swapping into the new rings and the old rings being freed. Prevent this by adding a 2nd ->rings pointer, ->rings_rcu, which is protected by RCU. The task work flags manipulation is inside RCU already, and if the resize ring freeing is done post an RCU synchronize, then there's no need to add locking to the fast path of task work additions. Note: this is only done for DEFER_TASKRUN, as that's the only setup mode that supports ring resizing. If this ever changes, then they too need to use the io_ctx_mark_taskrun() helper.

As a result, things like containers and systemd that apply seccomp filters, can't filter io_uring operations. That leaves them with just one choice if filtering is critical - filter the actual io_uring_setup(2) system call to simply disallow io_uring. That's rather unfortunate, and has limited us because of it. io_uring already has some filtering support. It requires the ring to be setup in a disabled state, and then a filter set can be applied. This filter set is completely bi-modal - an opcode is either enabled or it's not. Once a filter set is registered, the ring can be enabled. This is very restrictive, and it's not useful at all to systemd or containers which really want both broader and more specific control. This first adds support for cBPF filters for opcodes, which enables tighter control over what exactly a specific opcode may do. As examples, specific support is added for IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2, allowing filtering on resolve flags. And another example is added for IORING_OP_SOCKET, allowing filtering on domain/type/protocol. These are both common use cases. cBPF was chosen rather than eBPF, because the latter is often restricted in containers as well. These filters are run post the init phase of the request, which allows filters to even dip into data that is being passed in struct in user memory, as the init side of requests make that data stable by bringing it into the kernel. This allows filtering without needing to copy this data twice, or have filters etc know about the exact layout of the user data. The filters get the already copied and sanitized data passed. On top of that support is added for per-task filters, meaning that any ring created with a task that has a per-task filter will get those filters applied when it's created. These filters are inherited across fork as well. Once a filter has been registered, any further added filters may only further restrict what operations are permitted.

2026-02-06io_uring: allow registration of per-task restrictionsJens Axboe
Currently io_uring supports restricting operations on a per-ring basis. To use those, the ring must be setup in a disabled state by setting IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED. Then restrictions can be set for the ring, and the ring can then be enabled. This commit adds support for IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS with ring_fd == -1, like the other "blind" register opcodes which work on the task rather than a specific ring. This allows registration of the same kind of restrictions as can been done on a specific ring, but with the task itself. Once done, any ring created will inherit these restrictions. If a restriction filter is registered with a task, then it's inherited on fork for its children. Children may only further restrict operations, not extend them. Inheriting restrictions include both the classic IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS based restrictions, as well as the BPF filters that have been registered with the task via IORING_REGISTER_BPF_FILTER.

2026-01-27io_uring: add support for BPF filtering for opcode restrictionsJens Axboe
Add support for loading classic BPF programs with io_uring to provide fine-grained filtering of SQE operations. Unlike IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS which only allows bitmap-based allow/deny of opcodes, BPF filters can inspect request attributes and make dynamic decisions. The filter is registered via IORING_REGISTER_BPF_FILTER with a struct io_uring_bpf: struct io_uring_bpf_filter { __u32 opcode; /* io_uring opcode to filter */ __u32 flags; __u32 filter_len; /* number of BPF instructions */ __u32 resv; __u64 filter_ptr; /* pointer to BPF filter */ __u64 resv2[5]; }; enum { IO_URING_BPF_CMD_FILTER = 1, }; struct io_uring_bpf { __u16 cmd_type; /* IO_URING_BPF_* values */ __u16 cmd_flags; /* none so far */ __u32 resv; union { struct io_uring_bpf_filter filter; }; }; and the filters get supplied a struct io_uring_bpf_ctx: struct io_uring_bpf_ctx { __u64 user_data; __u8 opcode; __u8 sqe_flags; __u8 pdu_size; __u8 pad[5]; }; where it's possible to filter on opcode and sqe_flags, with pdu_size indicating how much extra data is being passed in beyond the pad field. This will used for specific finer grained filtering inside an opcode. An example of that for sockets is in one of the following patches. Anything the opcode supports can end up in this struct, populated by the opcode itself, and hence can be filtered for. Filters have the following semantics: - Return 1 to allow the request - Return 0 to deny the request with -EACCES - Multiple filters can be stacked per opcode. All filters must return 1 for the opcode to be allowed. - Filters are evaluated in registration order (most recent first) The implementation uses classic BPF (cBPF) rather than eBPF for as that's required for containers, and since they can be used by any user in the system.

Outside of SQPOLL, normally SQ entries are consumed by the time the submission syscall returns. For those cases we don't need a circular buffer and the head/tail tracking, instead the kernel can assume that entries always start from the beginning of the SQ at index 0. This patch introduces a setup flag doing exactly that. It's a simpler and helps to keeps SQEs hot in cache. The feature is optional and enabled by setting IORING_SETUP_SQ_REWIND. The flag is rejected if passed together with SQPOLL as it'd require waiting for SQ before each submission. It also requires IORING_SETUP_NO_SQARRAY, which can be supported but it's unlikely there will be users, so leave more space for future optimisations.

2026-01-14io_uring: move local task_work in exit cancel loopMing Lei
With IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN, task work is queued to ctx->work_llist (local work) rather than the fallback list. During io_ring_exit_work(), io_move_task_work_from_local() was called once before the cancel loop, moving work from work_llist to fallback_llist. However, task work can be added to work_llist during the cancel loop itself. There are two cases: 1) io_kill_timeouts() is called from io_uring_try_cancel_requests() to cancel pending timeouts, and it adds task work via io_req_queue_tw_complete() for each cancelled timeout: 2) URING_CMD requests like ublk can be completed via io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task() from ublk_queue_rq() during canceling, given ublk request queue is only quiesced when canceling the 1st uring_cmd. Since io_allowed_defer_tw_run() returns false in io_ring_exit_work() (kworker != submitter_task), io_run_local_work() is never invoked, and the work_llist entries are never processed. This causes io_uring_try_cancel_requests() to loop indefinitely, resulting in 100% CPU usage in kworker threads. Fix this by moving io_move_task_work_from_local() inside the cancel loop, ensuring any work on work_llist is moved to fallback before each cancel attempt.

2026-01-12io_uring/msg_ring: drop unnecessary submitter_task checksCaleb Sander Mateos
__io_msg_ring_data() checks that the target_ctx isn't IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED before calling io_msg_data_remote(), which calls io_msg_remote_post(). So submitter_task can't be modified concurrently with the read in io_msg_remote_post(). Additionally, submitter_task must exist, as io_msg_data_remote() is only called for io_msg_need_remote(), i.e. task_complete is set, which requires IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN, which in turn requires IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER. And submitter_task is assigned in io_uring_create() or io_register_enable_rings() before enabling any IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER io_ring_ctx. Similarly, io_msg_send_fd() checks IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED and io_msg_need_remote() before calling io_msg_fd_remote(). submitter_task therefore can't be modified concurrently with the read in io_msg_fd_remote() and must be non-null. io_register_enable_rings() can't run concurrently because it's called from io_uring_register() -> __io_uring_register() with uring_lock held. Thus, replace the READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() of submitter_task with plain loads and stores. And remove the NULL checks of submitter_task in io_msg_remote_post() and io_msg_fd_remote().
