Merge tag 'io_uring-7.3-20261002' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linuxgrafted
Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe: - Fix a task_work add use-after-free with SQPOLL. The sqpoll thread could pop and complete the last request while io_req_normal_work_add() was still looking at them after the mpscq push. Use the same approach as DEFER_TASKRUN to protect from that, holding an RCU read lock across the add, and have exit wait for an RCU grace period for SQPOLL rings as well. - CQE32 ring fixes: correct the free entry check for 32b CQEs, zero the big_cqe for aux CQEs, and only post the dummy skip CQE on CQE_MIXED rings - Mark the source filter table as COW when cloning bpf filters, so registering another filter on the source doesn't modify the shared table in place - Initialize the task context before running the BPF loop - Requeue zcrx multishot receives stopped by a local resource - End a TX_TIMESTAMP multishot cmd when the CQ is full (lollipopkit) * tag 'io_uring-7.3-20261002' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: io_uring: fix task_work add use-after-free with SQPOLL io_uring/cmd_net: end TX_TIMESTAMP multishot when the CQ is full io_uring/zcrx: requeue multishot receives stopped by a local resource io_uring: initialize task context before running the BPF loop io_uring: zero big_cqe for aux CQEs on CQE32 rings io_uring: fix free entry check for 32b CQEs on CQE32 rings io_uring: only post the dummy skip CQE on CQE_MIXED rings io_uring/bpf_filter: mark source as COW when cloning filters

+eBPF Userspace API
+==================
+
+eBPF is a kernel mechanism to provide a sandboxed runtime environment in the
+Linux kernel for runtime extension and instrumentation without changing kernel
+source code or loading kernel modules. eBPF programs can be attached to various
+kernel subsystems, including networking, tracing and Linux security modules
+(LSM).
+
+For internal kernel documentation on eBPF, see Documentation/bpf/index.rst.
