[Impact]
 Lin Ma discovered a race condition in the io_uring subsystem in the Linux
 kernel, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local
 attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

[Fix/Backport]
5.15 version of these were applied to 5.17. 6.0 were clean upstream
cherry-picks.

[Potential regression]
io_uring users could regress.

Lin Ma (1):
  io_uring/poll: fix poll_refs race with cancelation

Pavel Begunkov (4):
  io_uring: update res mask in io_poll_check_events
  io_uring: fix tw losing poll events
  io_uring: cmpxchg for poll arm refs release
  io_uring: make poll refs more robust
