[RFC PATCH] io_uring: stop issue failed request to fix panic

From: 王贇
Date: Wed Sep 01 2021 - 05:39:25 EST


We observed panic:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:0000000000000028
[skip]
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
CPU: 1 PID: 737 Comm: a.out Not tainted 5.14.0+ #58
Hardware name: Red Hat KVM, BIOS 0.5.1 01/01/2011
RIP: 0010:vfs_fadvise+0x1e/0x80
[skip]
Call Trace:
? tctx_task_work+0x111/0x2a0
io_issue_sqe+0x524/0x1b90

This is caused by io_wq_submit_work() calling io_issue_sqe()
on a failed fadvise request, and the io_init_req() return error
before initialize the file for it, lead into the panic when
vfs_fadvise() try to access 'req->file'.

This patch add the missing check & handle for failed request
before calling io_issue_sqe().
