commit f7b32e785042d2357c5abc23ca6db1b92c91a070 upstream.
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.

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.
