An io_uring openat operation can update an audit reference count
from multiple threads resulting in the call trace below.
A call to io_uring_submit() with a single openat op with a flag of
IOSQE_ASYNC results in the following reference count updates.
These first part of the system call performs two increments that do not race.
do_syscall_64()
__do_sys_io_uring_enter()
io_submit_sqes()
io_openat_prep()
__io_openat_prep()
getname()
getname_flags() /* update 1 (increment) */
__audit_getname() /* update 2 (increment) */
The openat op is queued to an io_uring worker thread which starts the
opportunity for a race. The system call exit performs one decrement.
do_syscall_64()
syscall_exit_to_user_mode()
syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
__audit_syscall_exit()
audit_reset_context()
putname() /* update 3 (decrement) */
The io_uring worker thread performs one increment and two decrements.
These updates can race with the system call decrement.
io_wqe_worker()
io_worker_handle_work()
io_wq_submit_work()
io_issue_sqe()
io_openat()
io_openat2()
do_filp_open()
path_openat()
__audit_inode() /* update 4 (increment) */
putname() /* update 5 (decrement) */
__audit_uring_exit()
audit_reset_context()
putname() /* update 6 (decrement) */
The fix is to change the refcnt member of struct audit_names
from int to atomic_t.

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.
