Gabriel Krisman Bertazi bd6fc5da4c io_uring: Don't set affinity on a dying sqpoll thread
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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
