In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring/sqpoll: fix sqpoll error handling races

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __lock_acquire+0x370b/0x4a10 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5089

Kun Hu reports that the SQPOLL creating error path has UAF, which
happens if io_uring_alloc_task_context() fails and then io_sq_thread()
manages to run and complete before the rest of error handling code,
which means io_sq_thread_finish() is looking at already killed task.

Note that this is mostly theoretical, requiring fault injection on
the allocation side to trigger in practice.
