Jens Axboe 74dcfcd1d3 io_uring: ensure req->submit is copied when req is deferred
There's an issue with deferred requests through drain, where if we do
need to defer, we're not copying over the sqe_submit state correctly.
This can result in using uninitialized data when we then later go and
submit the deferred request, like this check in __io_submit_sqe():

         if (unlikely(s->index >= ctx->sq_entries))
                 return -EINVAL;

with 's' being uninitialized, we can randomly fail this check. Fix this
by copying sqe_submit state when we defer a request.

Because it was fixed as part of a cleanup series in mainline, before
anyone realized we had this issue. That removed the separate states
of ->index vs ->submit.sqe. That series is not something I was
comfortable putting into stable, hence the much simpler addition.
Here's the patch in the series that fixes the same issue:

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.
