[PATCH 5.8 243/255] io_uring: dont recurse on tsk->sighand->siglock with signalfd

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 01 2020 - 11:50:01 EST


From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fd7d6de2241453fc7d042336d366a939a25bc5a9 ]

If an application is doing reads on signalfd, and we arm the poll handler
because there's no data available, then the wakeup can recurse on the
tasks sighand->siglock as the signal delivery from task_work_add() will
use TWA_SIGNAL and that attempts to lock it again.

We can detect the signalfd case pretty easily by comparing the poll->head
wait_queue_head_t with the target task signalfd wait queue. Just use
normal task wakeup for this case.
