Fix three bugs in aio poll, and one issue with POLLFREE more broadly: - aio poll didn't handle POLLFREE, causing a use-after-free. - aio poll could block while the file is ready. - aio poll called eventfd_signal() when it isn't allowed. - POLLFREE didn't handle multiple exclusive waiters correctly. This has been tested with the libaio test suite, as well as with test programs I wrote that reproduce the first two bugs. I am sending this pull request myself as no one seems to be maintaining this code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQSacvsUNc7UX4ntmEPzXCl4vpKOKwUCYbObthQcZWJpZ2dlcnNA Z29vZ2xlLmNvbQAKCRDzXCl4vpKOK+3mAQC9W8ApzBleEPI6FXzIIo5AiQT/2jGl 7FbO1MtkdUBU4QEAzf+VWl4Z4BJTgxl44avRdVDpXGAMnbWkd7heY+e3HwA= =mp+r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'aio-poll-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux Pull aio poll fixes from Eric Biggers: "Fix three bugs in aio poll, and one issue with POLLFREE more broadly: - aio poll didn't handle POLLFREE, causing a use-after-free. - aio poll could block while the file is ready. - aio poll called eventfd_signal() when it isn't allowed. - POLLFREE didn't handle multiple exclusive waiters correctly.

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.
