Stephen reports: I hit the following General Protection Fault when testing io_uring via the io_uring engine in fio. This was on a VM running 5.2-rc5 and the latest version of fio. The issue occurs for both null_blk and fake NVMe drives. I have not tested bare metal or real NVMe SSDs. The fio script used is given below.

This causes io_uring to put the request after logging an error, but before the file field is set in the request. If it happens to be non-zero, we attempt to fput() garbage. Fix this by ensuring that req->file is initialized when the request is allocated.

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.
