Esto est\u00e1 bien para bloquear encuestas, ya que una encuesta de bloqueo ocurre dentro de una tarea; sin embargo, las encuestas sin bloqueo requieren otra soluci\u00f3n. Esta soluci\u00f3n consiste en despejar la cola antes de liberarla, enviando una notificaci\u00f3n POLLFREE a todos los camareros. Desafortunadamente, s\u00f3lo eventpoll maneja POLLFREE. Un segundo tipo de encuesta sin bloqueo, aio poll, se agreg\u00f3 en el kernel v4.18 y no maneja POLLFREE. Esto permite que se produzca un use-after-free si se sondea un signalfd o un binder fd con aio poll y se libera la cola de espera. Solucione este problema haciendo que la encuesta de aio se maneje POLLFREE. Un parche de Ramji Jiyani  (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211027011834.2497484-1-ramjiyani@google.com) intent\u00f3 hacer esto haciendo que aio_poll_wake() siempre completara la solicitud en l\u00ednea si Se ve POLLFREE. Sin embargo, esa soluci\u00f3n ten\u00eda dos errores. Primero, introdujo un punto muerto, ya que bloque\u00f3 incondicionalmente el contexto aio mientras manten\u00eda el bloqueo de la cola de espera, lo que invierte el orden de bloqueo normal. En segundo lugar, no consider\u00f3 que las notificaciones de POLLFREE se pierdan mientras la solicitud ha sido retirada temporalmente de la cola. El segundo problema lo resolvi\u00f3 mi parche anterior. Luego, este parche corrige adecuadamente el use-after-free al manejar POLLFREE sin interbloqueos. Lo hace aprovechando el hecho de que la liberaci\u00f3n de la cola de espera tiene un retraso de RCU, similar a lo que hace eventpoll.\"}],\"metrics\":{},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/321fba81ec034f88aea4898993c1bf15605c023f\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4105e6a128e8a98455dfc9e6dbb2ab0c33c4497f\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47ffefd88abfffe8a040bcc1dd0554d4ea6f7689\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50252e4b5e989ce64555c7aef7516bdefc2fea72\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60d311f9e6381d779d7d53371f87285698ecee24\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"}]}}"
