Breno Leitao ab702c3483 io_uring/io-wq: Use set_bit() and test_bit() at worker->flags
[ Upstream commit 8a565304927fbd28c9f028c492b5c1714002cbab ]

Utilize set_bit() and test_bit() on worker->flags within io_uring/io-wq
to address potential data races.

The structure io_worker->flags may be accessed through various data
paths, leading to concurrency issues. When KCSAN is enabled, it reveals
data races occurring in io_worker_handle_work and
io_wq_activate_free_worker functions.

	 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in io_worker_handle_work / io_wq_activate_free_worker
	 write to 0xffff8885c4246404 of 4 bytes by task 49071 on cpu 28:
	 io_worker_handle_work (io_uring/io-wq.c:434 io_uring/io-wq.c:569)
	 io_wq_worker (io_uring/io-wq.c:?)
<snip>

	 read to 0xffff8885c4246404 of 4 bytes by task 49024 on cpu 5:
	 io_wq_activate_free_worker (io_uring/io-wq.c:? io_uring/io-wq.c:285)
	 io_wq_enqueue (io_uring/io-wq.c:947)
	 io_queue_iowq (io_uring/io_uring.c:524)
	 io_req_task_submit (io_uring/io_uring.c:1511)
	 io_handle_tw_list (io_uring/io_uring.c:1198)
<snip>

Line numbers against commit 18daea77cca6 ("Merge tag 'for-linus' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm").

These races involve writes and reads to the same memory location by
different tasks running on different CPUs. To mitigate this, refactor
the code to use atomic operations such as set_bit(), test_bit(), and
clear_bit() instead of basic "and" and "or" operations. This ensures
thread-safe manipulation of worker flags.

Also, move `create_index` to avoid holes in the structure.

README

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.
