io_uring: defer foreign io-wq enqueues to task_work
An IOPOLL ring without DEFER_TASKRUN can be reaped by a task other than the one that submitted the I/O. If a polled request is marked REQ_F_REISSUE, io_free_batch_list() calls io_queue_iowq() with the original tctx. Ordinary task exit can tear down tctx->io_wq after draining only the tracked requests. The live request pins the task, but not its io-wq, so the foreign task can race io_wq_put_and_exit() and enqueue through a freed or NULL queue. Forward foreign userspace enqueues to the owning task before accessing tctx->io_wq. Use a dedicated task_work callback so reissues still go straight to io-wq, and fail them if task_work is running in cancellation mode. Preserve the existing PF_KTHREAD cancellation path. This also covers the other callers of io_queue_iowq() without changing the worker-owned enqueue path. Signed-off-by: Kyle Zeng <kylebot@openai.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
