For the first time a req punted to io-wq, we'll initialize io_wq_work's
list to be NULL, then insert req to io_wqe->work_list. If this req is not
inserted into tail of io_wqe->work_list, this req's io_wq_work list will
point to another req's io_wq_work. For splitted bio case, this req maybe
inserted to io_wqe->work_list repeatedly, once we insert it to tail of
io_wqe->work_list for the second time, now io_wq_work->list->next will be
invalid pointer, which then result in many strang error, panic, kernel
soft-lockup, rcu stall, etc.

To fix this corruption, if a req is inserted into tail of io_wqe->work_list,
initialize req->io_wq_work->list->next to bu NULL.

There are a few operations that are offloaded to the worker threads. In

We always punt async buffered writes to an io-wq helper, as the core
kernel does not have IOCB_NOWAIT support for that. Most buffered async
writes complete very quickly, as it's just a copy operation. This means
that doing multiple locking roundtrips on the shared wqe lock for each
buffered write is wasteful. Additionally, buffered writes are hashed
work items, which means that any buffered write to a given file is
serialized.
Keep identicaly hashed work items contiguously in @wqe->work_list, and
track a tail for each hash bucket. On dequeue of a hashed item, splice
all of the same hash in one go using the tracked tail. Until the batch
is done, the caller doesn't have to synchronize with the wqe or worker
locks again.

io_uring supports request types that basically have two different
lifetimes:
1) Bounded completion time. These are requests like disk reads or writes,
which we know will finish in a finite amount of time.
2) Unbounded completion time. These are generally networked IO, where we
have no idea how long they will take to complete. Another example is
POLL commands.
This patch provides support for io-wq to handle these differently, so we
don't starve bounded requests by tying up workers for too long. By default
all work is bounded, unless otherwise specified in the work item.

This adds support for IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL, which will attempt to
cancel requests that have been punted to async context and are now
in-flight. This works for regular read/write requests to files, as
long as they haven't been started yet. For socket based IO (or things
like accept4(2)), we can cancel work that is already running as well.
To cancel a request, the sqe must have ->addr set to the user_data of
the request it wishes to cancel. If the request is cancelled
successfully, the original request is completed with -ECANCELED
and the cancel request is completed with a result of 0. If the
request was already running, the original may or may not complete
in error. The cancel request will complete with -EALREADY for that
case. And finally, if the request to cancel wasn't found, the cancel
request is completed with -ENOENT.

This adds support for io-wq, a smaller and specialized thread pool
implementation. This is meant to replace workqueues for io_uring. Among
the reasons for this addition are:
- We can assign memory context smarter and more persistently if we
manage the life time of threads.
- We can drop various work-arounds we have in io_uring, like the
async_list.
- We can implement hashed work insertion, to manage concurrency of
buffered writes without needing a) an extra workqueue, or b)
needlessly making the concurrency of said workqueue very low
which hurts performance of multiple buffered file writers.
- We can implement cancel through signals, for cancelling
interruptible work like read/write (or send/recv) to/from sockets.
- We need the above cancel for being able to assign and use file tables
from a process.
- We can implement a more thorough cancel operation in general.
- We need it to move towards a syslet/threadlet model for even faster
async execution. For that we need to take ownership of the used
threads.
This list is just off the top of my head. Performance should be the
same, or better, at least that's what I've seen in my testing. io-wq
supports basic NUMA functionality, setting up a pool per node.
io-wq hooks up to the scheduler schedule in/out just like workqueue
and uses that to drive the need for more/less workers.
