which is caused by slab fault injection triggering a failure in
prepare_creds(). We don't actually need to create a copy of the creds
as we're not modifying it, we just need a reference on the current task
creds. This avoids the failure case as well, and propagates the const
throughout the stack.

Fixes: 181e448d87 ("io_uring: async workers should inherit the user creds")

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.
