commitf7b32e7850upstream. Callers of mutex_unlock() have to make sure that the mutex stays alive for the whole duration of the function call. For io_uring that means that the following pattern is not valid unless we ensure that the context outlives the mutex_unlock() call. mutex_lock(&ctx->uring_lock); req_put(req); // typically via io_req_task_submit() mutex_unlock(&ctx->uring_lock); Most contexts are fine: io-wq pins requests, syscalls hold the file, task works are taking ctx references and so on. However, the task work fallback path doesn't follow the rule.

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.
