[PATCH for-5.15 v2] io_uring: fix lacking of protection for compl_nr

From: Hao Xu <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-20 22:20:02
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

coml_nr in ctx_flush_and_put() is not protected by uring_lock, this
may cause problems when accessing it parallelly:

say coml_nr > 0

  ctx_flush_and put                  other context
   if (compl_nr)                      get mutex
                                      coml_nr > 0
                                      do flush
                                          coml_nr = 0
                                      release mutex
        get mutex
           do flush (*)
        release mutex

in (*) place, we call io_cqring_ev_posted() and users likely get
none events there.
