commit bd6fc5da4c51107e1e0cec4a3a07963d1dae2c84 upstream.
Syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref of sqd->thread inside io_sqpoll_wq_cpu_affinity. It turns out the sqd->thread can go away from under us during io_uring_register, in case the process gets a fatal signal during io_uring_register.
It is not particularly hard to hit the race, and while I am not sure this is the exact case hit by syzbot, it solves it. Finally, checking ->thread is enough to close the race because we locked sqd while "parking" the thread, thus preventing it from going away.
I reproduced it fairly consistently with a program that does:
int main(void) { ... io_uring_queue_init(RING_LEN, &ring1, IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL); while (1) { io_uring_register_iowq_aff(ring, 1, &mask); } }
Executed in a loop with timeout to trigger SIGTERM: while true; do timeout 1 /a.out ; done
This will hit the following BUG() in very few attempts.
