If someone removes a node from a list, and then later adds it back to a list, we can have invalid data in ->next. This can cause all sorts of issues. One such use case is the IORING_OP_POLL_ADD command, which will do just that if we race and get woken twice without any pending events. This is a pretty rare case, but can happen under extreme loads. Dan reports that he saw the following crash: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 PGD d283ce067 P4D d283ce067 PUD e5ca04067 PMD 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP CPU: 17 PID: 10726 Comm: tao:fast-fiber Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.2.9-02851-gac7bc042d2d1 #116 Hardware name: Quanta Twin Lakes MP/Twin Lakes Passive MP, BIOS F09_3A17 05/03/2019 RIP: 0010:io_wqe_enqueue+0x3e/0xd0 Code: 34 24 74 55 8b 47 58 48 8d 6f 50 85 c0 74 50 48 89 df e8 35 7c 75 00 48 83 7b 08 00 48 8b 14 24 0f 84 84 00 00 00 48 8b 4b 10 <48> 89 11 48 89 53 10 83 63 20 fe 48 89 c6 48 89 df e8 0c 7a 75 00 RSP: 0000:ffffc90006858a08 EFLAGS: 00010082 RAX: 0000000000000002 RBX: ffff889037492fc0 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: ffff888e40cc11a8 RSI: ffff888e40cc11a8 RDI: ffff889037492fc0 RBP: ffff889037493010 R08: 00000000000000c3 R09: ffffc90006858ab8 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff888e40cc11a8 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 00000000000000c3 R15: ffff888e40cc1100 FS: 00007fcddc9db700(0000) GS:ffff88903fa40000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000e479f5003 CR4: 00000000007606e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: <IRQ> io_poll_wake+0x12f/0x2a0 __wake_up_common+0x86/0x120 __wake_up_common_lock+0x7a/0xc0 sock_def_readable+0x3c/0x70 tcp_rcv_established+0x557/0x630 tcp_v6_do_rcv+0x118/0x3c0 tcp_v6_rcv+0x97e/0x9d0 ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu+0xe3/0x440 ip6_input+0x3d/0xc0 ? ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu+0x440/0x440 ipv6_rcv+0x56/0xd0 ? ip6_rcv_finish_core.isra.18+0x80/0x80 __netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x50/0x70 netif_receive_skb_internal+0x2f/0xa0 napi_gro_receive+0x125/0x150 mlx5e_handle_rx_cqe+0x1d9/0x5a0 ? mlx5e_poll_tx_cq+0x305/0x560 mlx5e_poll_rx_cq+0x49f/0x9c5 mlx5e_napi_poll+0xee/0x640 ? smp_reschedule_interrupt+0x16/0xd0 ? reschedule_interrupt+0xf/0x20 net_rx_action+0x286/0x3d0 __do_softirq+0xca/0x297 irq_exit+0x96/0xa0 do_IRQ+0x54/0xe0 common_interrupt+0xf/0xf </IRQ> RIP: 0033:0x7fdc627a2e3a Code: 31 c0 85 d2 0f 88 f6 00 00 00 55 48 89 e5 41 57 41 56 4c 63 f2 41 55 41 54 53 48 83 ec 18 48 85 ff 0f 84 c7 00 00 00 48 8b 07 <41> 89 d4 49 89 f5 48 89 fb 48 85 c0 0f 84 64 01 00 00 48 83 78 10 when running a networked workload with about 5000 sockets being polled for.

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.
