[ Upstream commit d434ab6db524ab1efd0afad4ffa1ee65ca6ac097 ] __io_req_task_submit() run by task_work can set mm and files, but io_sq_thread() in some cases, and because __io_sq_thread_acquire_mm() and __io_sq_thread_acquire_files() do a simple current->mm/files check it may end up submitting IO with mm/files of another task. We also need to drop it after in the end to drop potentially grabbed references to them.

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.
