Linux kernel source tree
futex_queue() -> __futex_queue() uses 'current' as the task to store in the struct futex_q->task field. This is fine for synchronous usage of the futex infrastructure, but it's not always correct when used by io_uring where the task doing the initial futex_queue() might not be available later on. This doesn't lead to any issues currently, as the io_uring side doesn't support PI futexes, but it does leave a potentially dangling pointer which is never a good idea. Have futex_queue() take a task_struct argument, and have the regular callers pass in 'current' for that. Meanwhile io_uring can just pass in NULL, as the task should never be used off that path. In theory req->tctx->task could be used here, but there's no point populating it with a task field that will never be used anyway.

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 reStructuredText 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.
