On big-endian architectures, the signal masks are differnet
between 32-bit and 64-bit tasks, so we have to use a different
function for reading them from user space.
io_cqring_wait() initially got this wrong, and always interprets
this as a native structure. This is ok on x86 and most arm64,
but not on s390, ppc64be, mips64be, sparc64 and parisc.

The last two re-introduce a feature that was in io_uring before it got
merged, but which I pulled since we didn't have a good way to have
BVEC iters that already have a stable reference. These aren't
necessarily related to block, it's just how io_uring pins fixed

io_uring: fix poll races
io_uring: fix fget/fput handling
io_uring: add prepped flag
io_uring: make io_read/write return an integer
io_uring: use regular request ref counts
For ITER_BVEC, if we're holding on to kernel pages, the caller
doesn't need to grab a reference to the bvec pages, and drop that
same reference on IO completion. This is essentially safe for any
ITER_BVEC, but some use cases end up reusing pages and uncondtionally
dropping a page reference on completion. And example of that is
sendfile(2), that ends up being a splice_in + splice_out on the
pipe pages.
Add a flag that tells us it's fine to not grab a page reference
to the bvec pages, since that caller knows not to drop a reference
when it's done with the pages.

I've seen cases where bulk alloc fails, since the bulk alloc API
is all-or-nothing - either we get the number we ask for, or it
returns 0 as number of entries.
If we fail a batch bulk alloc, retry a "normal" kmem_cache_alloc()
and just use that instead of failing with -EAGAIN.
While in there, ensure we use GFP_KERNEL. That was an oversight in
the original code, when we switched away from GFP_ATOMIC.

This is a straight port of Al's fix for the aio poll implementation,
since the io_uring version is heavily based on that. The below
description is almost straight from that patch, just modified to
fit the io_uring situation.
io_poll() has to cope with several unpleasant problems:
* requests that might stay around indefinitely need to
be made visible for io_cancel(2); that must not be done to
a request already completed, though.
* in cases when ->poll() has placed us on a waitqueue,
wakeup might have happened (and request completed) before ->poll()
returns.
* worse, in some early wakeup cases request might end
up re-added into the queue later - we can't treat "woken up and
currently not in the queue" as "it's not going to stick around
indefinitely"
* ... moreover, ->poll() might have decided not to
put it on any queues to start with, and that needs to be distinguished
from the previous case
* ->poll() might have tried to put us on more than one queue.
Only the first will succeed for io poll, so we might end up missing
wakeups. OTOH, we might very well notice that only after the
wakeup hits and request gets completed (all before ->poll() gets
around to the second poll_wait()). In that case it's too late to
decide that we have an error.
req->woken was an attempt to deal with that. Unfortunately, it was
broken. What we need to keep track of is not that wakeup has happened -
the thing might come back after that. It's that async reference is
already gone and won't come back, so we can't (and needn't) put the
request on the list of cancellables.
The easiest case is "request hadn't been put on any waitqueues"; we
can tell by seeing NULL apt.head, and in that case there won't be
anything async. We should either complete the request ourselves
(if vfs_poll() reports anything of interest) or return an error.
In all other cases we get exclusion with wakeups by grabbing the
queue lock.
If request is currently on queue and we have something interesting
from vfs_poll(), we can steal it and complete the request ourselves.
If it's on queue and vfs_poll() has not reported anything interesting,
we either put it on the cancellable list, or, if we know that it
hadn't been put on all queues ->poll() wanted it on, we steal it and
return an error.
If it's _not_ on queue, it's either been already dealt with (in which
case we do nothing), or there's io_poll_complete_work() about to be
executed. In that case we either put it on the cancellable list,
or, if we know it hadn't been put on all queues ->poll() wanted it on,
simulate what cancel would've done.

This isn't a straight port of commit 84c4e1f89f for aio.c, since
io_uring doesn't use files in exactly the same way. But it's pretty
close. See the commit message for that commit.
This essentially fixes a use-after-free with the poll command
handling, but it takes cue from Linus's approach to just simplifying
the file handling. We move the setup of the file into a higher level
location, so the individual commands don't have to deal with it. And
then we release the reference when we free the associated io_kiocb.

Right now we punt any buffered request that ends up triggering an
-EAGAIN to an async workqueue. This works fine in terms of providing
async execution of them, but it also can create quite a lot of work
queue items. For sequentially buffered IO, it's advantageous to
serialize the issue of them. For reads, the first one will trigger a
read-ahead, and subsequent request merely end up waiting on later pages
to complete. For writes, devices usually respond better to streamed
sequential writes.
Add state to track the last buffered request we punted to a work queue,
and if the next one is sequential to the previous, attempt to get the
previous work item to handle it. We limit the number of sequential
add-ons to the a multiple (8) of the max read-ahead size of the file.
This should be a good number for both reads and wries, as it defines the
max IO size the device can do directly.
This drastically cuts down on the number of context switches we need to
handle buffered sequential IO, and a basic test case of copying a big
file with io_uring sees a 5x speedup.

This is basically a direct port of bfe4037e72, which implements a
one-shot poll command through aio. Description below is based on that
commit as well. However, instead of adding a POLL command and relying
on io_cancel(2) to remove it, we mimic the epoll(2) interface of
having a command to add a poll notification, IORING_OP_POLL_ADD,
and one to remove it again, IORING_OP_POLL_REMOVE.
To poll for a file descriptor the application should submit an sqe of
type IORING_OP_POLL. It will poll the fd for the events specified in the
poll_events field.
Unlike poll or epoll without EPOLLONESHOT this interface always works in
one shot mode, that is once the sqe is completed, it will have to be
resubmitted.

This enables an application to do IO, without ever entering the kernel.
By using the SQ ring to fill in new sqes and watching for completions
on the CQ ring, we can submit and reap IOs without doing a single system
call. The kernel side thread will poll for new submissions, and in case
of HIPRI/polled IO, it'll also poll for completions.
By default, we allow 1 second of active spinning. This can by changed
by passing in a different grace period at io_uring_register(2) time.
If the thread exceeds this idle time without having any work to do, it
will set:
sq_ring->flags |= IORING_SQ_NEED_WAKEUP.
The application will have to call io_uring_enter() to start things back
up again. If IO is kept busy, that will never be needed. Basically an
application that has this feature enabled will guard it's
io_uring_enter(2) call with:
read_barrier();
if (*sq_ring->flags & IORING_SQ_NEED_WAKEUP)
io_uring_enter(fd, 0, 0, IORING_ENTER_SQ_WAKEUP);
instead of calling it unconditionally.
It's mandatory to use fixed files with this feature. Failure to do so
will result in the application getting an -EBADF CQ entry when
submitting IO.

We normally have to fget/fput for each IO we do on a file. Even with
the batching we do, the cost of the atomic inc/dec of the file usage
count adds up.
This adds IORING_REGISTER_FILES, and IORING_UNREGISTER_FILES opcodes
for the io_uring_register(2) system call. The arguments passed in must
be an array of __s32 holding file descriptors, and nr_args should hold
the number of file descriptors the application wishes to pin for the
duration of the io_uring instance (or until IORING_UNREGISTER_FILES is
called).
When used, the application must set IOSQE_FIXED_FILE in the sqe->flags
member. Then, instead of setting sqe->fd to the real fd, it sets sqe->fd
to the index in the array passed in to IORING_REGISTER_FILES.
Files are automatically unregistered when the io_uring instance is torn
down. An application need only unregister if it wishes to register a new
set of fds.

If we have fixed user buffers, we can map them into the kernel when we
setup the io_uring. That avoids the need to do get_user_pages() for
each and every IO.
To utilize this feature, the application must call io_uring_register()
after having setup an io_uring instance, passing in
IORING_REGISTER_BUFFERS as the opcode. The argument must be a pointer to
an iovec array, and the nr_args should contain how many iovecs the
application wishes to map.
If successful, these buffers are now mapped into the kernel, eligible
for IO. To use these fixed buffers, the application must use the
IORING_OP_READ_FIXED and IORING_OP_WRITE_FIXED opcodes, and then
set sqe->index to the desired buffer index. sqe->addr..sqe->addr+seq->len
must point to somewhere inside the indexed buffer.
The application may register buffers throughout the lifetime of the
io_uring instance. It can call io_uring_register() with
IORING_UNREGISTER_BUFFERS as the opcode to unregister the current set of
buffers, and then register a new set. The application need not
unregister buffers explicitly before shutting down the io_uring
instance.
It's perfectly valid to setup a larger buffer, and then sometimes only
use parts of it for an IO. As long as the range is within the originally
mapped region, it will work just fine.
For now, buffers must not be file backed. If file backed buffers are
passed in, the registration will fail with -1/EOPNOTSUPP. This
restriction may be relaxed in the future.
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is used to check how much memory we can pin. A somewhat
arbitrary 1G per buffer size is also imposed.

Add a separate io_submit_state structure, to cache some of the things
we need for IO submission.
One such example is file reference batching. io_submit_state. We get as
many references as the number of sqes we are submitting, and drop
unused ones if we end up switching files. The assumption here is that
we're usually only dealing with one fd, and if there are multiple,
hopefuly they are at least somewhat ordered. Could trivially be extended
to cover multiple fds, if needed.
On the completion side we do the same thing, except this is trivially
done just locally in io_iopoll_reap().

The submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) rings are shared
between the application and the kernel. This eliminates the need to
copy data back and forth to submit and complete IO.
IO submissions use the io_uring_sqe data structure, and completions
are generated in the form of io_uring_cqe data structures. The SQ
ring is an index into the io_uring_sqe array, which makes it possible
to submit a batch of IOs without them being contiguous in the ring.
The CQ ring is always contiguous, as completion events are inherently
unordered, and hence any io_uring_cqe entry can point back to an
arbitrary submission.
Two new system calls are added for this:
io_uring_setup(entries, params)
Sets up an io_uring instance for doing async IO. On success,
returns a file descriptor that the application can mmap to
gain access to the SQ ring, CQ ring, and io_uring_sqes.
io_uring_enter(fd, to_submit, min_complete, flags, sigset, sigsetsize)
Initiates IO against the rings mapped to this fd, or waits for
them to complete, or both. The behavior is controlled by the
parameters passed in. If 'to_submit' is non-zero, then we'll
try and submit new IO. If IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS is set, the
kernel will wait for 'min_complete' events, if they aren't
already available. It's valid to set IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS
and 'min_complete' == 0 at the same time, this allows the
kernel to return already completed events without waiting
for them. This is useful only for polling, as for IRQ
driven IO, the application can just check the CQ ring
without entering the kernel.
With this setup, it's possible to do async IO with a single system
call. Future developments will enable polled IO with this interface,
and polled submission as well. The latter will enable an application
to do IO without doing ANY system calls at all.
For IRQ driven IO, an application only needs to enter the kernel for
completions if it wants to wait for them to occur.
Each io_uring is backed by a workqueue, to support buffered async IO
as well. We will only punt to an async context if the command would
need to wait for IO on the device side. Any data that can be accessed
directly in the page cache is done inline. This avoids the slowness
issue of usual threadpools, since cached data is accessed as quickly
as a sync interface.
