Jens Axboe 60c112b0ad io_uring: ensure req->file is cleared on allocation
Stephen reports:

I hit the following General Protection Fault when testing io_uring via
the io_uring engine in fio. This was on a VM running 5.2-rc5 and the
latest version of fio. The issue occurs for both null_blk and fake NVMe
drives. I have not tested bare metal or real NVMe SSDs. The fio script
used is given below.

[io_uring]
time_based=1
runtime=60
filename=/dev/nvme2n1 (note /dev/nullb0 also fails)
ioengine=io_uring
bs=4k
rw=readwrite
direct=1
fixedbufs=1
sqthread_poll=1
sqthread_poll_cpu=0

which occurs because using a kernel side submission thread isn't valid
without using fixed files (registered through io_uring_register()). This
causes io_uring to put the request after logging an error, but before
the file field is set in the request. If it happens to be non-zero, we
attempt to fput() garbage.

Fix this by ensuring that req->file is initialized when the request is
allocated.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
