SubjectMemory uninitialized after "io_uring: keep table of pointers to ubufs"
Hi,

I started to see buffer registration randomly failing with ENOMEM on
5.13. Registering buffer or two often succeeds, but more than that
rarely. Running the same program as root succeeds - but the user has a high
rlimit.

The issue is that io_sqe_buffer_register() doesn't initialize
imu. io_buffer_account_pin() does imu->acct_pages++, before calling
io_account_mem(ctx, imu->acct_pages);

Which means that a random amount of memory is being accounted for. On the first
few allocations this sometimes fails to fail because the memory is zero, but
after a bit of reuse...

It only doesn't fail as root because the rlimit doesn't apply.

This is caused by
