Published

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: reject polled dio with user integrity metadata IOCB_HAS_METADATA leaves iocb->private as a uio_meta, while iocb_bio_iopoll() expects a bio. Since 2729a60bbfb9, metadata I/O always uses __blkdev_direct_IO(), which never publishes the bio for polling, so IOPOLL calls bio_poll() on the uio_meta. Reproducer: io_uring IOPOLL plus a PI attribute on an integrity device (scsi_debug dif=1 dix=1). KASAN reports: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000004 KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000020-0x0000000000000027] RIP: 0010:bio_poll+0x9d/0x4b0 Call Trace: iocb_bio_iopoll+0x5b/0x80 io_uring_classic_poll+0xf3/0x140 io_do_iopoll+0x4e3/0xc00 io_iopoll_check+0x275/0x560 __do_sys_io_uring_enter+0x2e5/0x720 Return -EOPNOTSUPP when HIPRI is combined with user metadata.
