When using SQPOLL, applications can run into the issue of running out of
SQ ring entries because the thread hasn't consumed them yet. The only
option for dealing with that is checking later, or busy checking for the

This patch adds a new IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED flag to start the
rings disabled, allowing the user to register restrictions,
buffers, files, before to start processing SQEs.
When IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED is set, SQE are not processed and
SQPOLL kthread is not started.
The restrictions registration are allowed only when the rings
are disable to prevent concurrency issue while processing SQEs.
The rings can be enabled using IORING_REGISTER_ENABLE_RINGS
opcode with io_uring_register(2).

The new io_uring_register(2) IOURING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS opcode
permanently installs a feature allowlist on an io_ring_ctx.
The io_ring_ctx can then be passed to untrusted code with the
knowledge that only operations present in the allowlist can be
executed.
The allowlist approach ensures that new features added to io_uring
do not accidentally become available when an existing application
is launched on a newer kernel version.
Currently is it possible to restrict sqe opcodes, sqe flags, and
register opcodes.
IOURING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS can only be made once. Afterwards
it is not possible to change restrictions anymore.
This prevents untrusted code from removing restrictions.

For those applications which are not willing to use io_uring_enter()

io_uring_peek_cqe() is not aware of this overflow, it won't enter

static void test_cq_overflow(struct io_uring *ring)

int issued = 0;

We have IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS, but the only way to remove buffers
is to trigger IO on them. The usual case of shrinking a buffer pool
would be to just not replenish the buffers when IO completes, and
instead just free it. But it may be nice to have a way to manually
remove a number of buffers from a given group, and
IORING_OP_REMOVE_BUFFERS provides that functionality.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
If a server process has tons of pending socket connections, generally
it uses epoll to wait for activity. When the socket is ready for reading
(or writing), the task can select a buffer and issue a recv/send on the
given fd.
Now that we have fast (non-async thread) support, a task can have tons
of pending reads or writes pending. But that means they need buffers to
back that data, and if the number of connections is high enough, having
them preallocated for all possible connections is unfeasible.
With IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS, an application can register buffers to
use for any request. The request then sets IOSQE_BUFFER_SELECT in the
sqe, and a given group ID in sqe->buf_group. When the fd becomes ready,
a free buffer from the specified group is selected. If none are
available, the request is terminated with -ENOBUFS. If successful, the
CQE on completion will contain the buffer ID chosen in the cqe->flags
member, encoded as:
(buffer_id << IORING_CQE_BUFFER_SHIFT) | IORING_CQE_F_BUFFER;
Once a buffer has been consumed by a request, it is no longer available
and must be registered again with IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS.
Requests need to support this feature. For now, IORING_OP_READ and
IORING_OP_RECV support it. This is checked on SQE submission, a CQE with
res == -EOPNOTSUPP will be posted if attempted on unsupported requests.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS uses the buffer registration infrastructure to
support passing in an addr/len that is associated with a buffer ID and
buffer group ID. The group ID is used to index and lookup the buffers,
while the buffer ID can be used to notify the application which buffer
in the group was used. The addr passed in is the starting buffer address,
and length is each buffer length. A number of buffers to add with can be
specified, in which case addr is incremented by length for each addition,
and each buffer increments the buffer ID specified.
No validation is done of the buffer ID. If the application provides
buffers within the same group with identical buffer IDs, then it'll have
a hard time telling which buffer ID was used. The only restriction is
that the buffer ID can be a max of 16-bits in size, so USHRT_MAX is the
maximum ID that can be used.

Currently io_uring tries any request in a non-blocking manner, if it can,
and then retries from a worker thread if we get -EAGAIN. Now that we have
a new and fancy poll based retry backend, use that to retry requests if
the file supports it.
This means that, for example, an IORING_OP_RECVMSG on a socket no longer
requires an async thread to complete the IO. If we get -EAGAIN reading
from the socket in a non-blocking manner, we arm a poll handler for
notification on when the socket becomes readable. When it does, the
pending read is executed directly by the task again, through the io_uring
task work handlers. Not only is this faster and more efficient, it also
means we're not generating potentially tons of async threads that just
sit and block, waiting for the IO to complete.
The feature is marked with IORING_FEAT_FAST_POLL, meaning that async
pollable IO is fast, and that poll<link>other_op is fast as well.

We currently fully quiesce the ring before an unregister or update of
the fixed fileset. This is very expensive, and we can be a bit smarter
about this.
Add a percpu refcount for the file tables as a whole. Grab a percpu ref
when we use a registered file, and put it on completion. This is cheap
to do. Upon removal of a file from a set, switch the ref count to atomic
mode. When we hit zero ref on the completion side, then we know we can
drop the previously registered files. When the old files have been
dropped, switch the ref back to percpu mode for normal operation.
Since there's a period between doing the update and the kernel being
done with it, add a IORING_OP_FILES_UPDATE opcode that can perform the
same action. The application knows the update has completed when it gets
the CQE for it. Between doing the update and receiving this completion,
the application must continue to use the unregistered fd if submitting

Currently we drop completion events, if the CQ ring is full. That's fine
for requests with bounded completion times, but it may make it harder or
impossible to use io_uring with networked IO where request completion
times are generally unbounded. Or with POLL, for example, which is also
unbounded.
After this patch, we never overflow the ring, we simply store requests
in a backlog for later flushing. This flushing is done automatically by
the kernel. To prevent the backlog from growing indefinitely, if the
backlog is non-empty, we apply back pressure on IO submissions. Any
attempt to submit new IO with a non-empty backlog will get an -EBUSY
return from the kernel. This is a signal to the application that it has
backlogged CQ events, and that it must reap those before being allowed
to submit more IO.
Note that if we do return -EBUSY, we will have filled whatever
backlogged events into the CQ ring first, if there's room. This means
the application can safely reap events WITHOUT entering the kernel and
waiting for them, they are already available in the CQ ring.

To cancel a request, the sqe must have ->addr set to the user_data of

successfully, the original request is completed with -ECANCELED
and the cancel request is completed with a result of 0. If the

We currently size the CQ ring as twice the SQ ring, to allow some

SQE life time is different than that of the IO request itself, the SQE
is consumed as soon as the kernel has seen the entry.
Certain application don't need a huge SQ ring size, since they just
submit IO in batches. But they may have a lot of requests pending, and
hence need a big CQ ring to hold them all. By allowing the application
to control the CQ ring size multiplier, we can cater to those
applications more efficiently.

This is done through IORING_OP_SENDMSG. There's a new sqe->msg_flags
for the flags argument, and the msghdr struct is passed in the
sqe->addr field.
We use MSG_DONTWAIT to force an inline fast path if sendmsg() doesn't
block, and punt to async execution if it would have.

With SQE links, we can create chains of dependent SQEs. One example
would be queueing an SQE that's a read from one file descriptor, with
the linked SQE being a write to another with the same set of buffers.
An SQE link will not stall the pipeline, it'll just ensure that
dependent SQEs aren't issued before the previous link has completed.
Any error at submission or completion time will break the chain of SQEs.
For completions, this also includes short reads or writes, as the next
SQE could depend on the previous one being fully completed.
Any SQE in a chain that gets canceled due to any of the above errors,
will get an CQE fill with -ECANCELED as the error value.

Allow registration of an eventfd, which will trigger an event every

There are no ordering constraints between the submission and completion
side of io_uring. But sometimes that would be useful to have. One common
example is doing an fsync, for instance, and have it ordered with
previous writes. Without support for that, the application must do this
tracking itself.
This adds a general SQE flag, IOSQE_IO_DRAIN. If a command is marked
with this flag, then it will not be issued before previous commands have
completed, and subsequent commands submitted after the drain will not be
issued before the drain is started.. If there are no pending commands,
setting this flag will not change the behavior of the issue of the
command.

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 support for a polled io_uring instance. When a read or write is
submitted to a polled io_uring, the application must poll for
completions on the CQ ring through io_uring_enter(2). Polled IO may not
generate IRQ completions, hence they need to be actively found by the
application itself.
To use polling, io_uring_setup() must be used with the
IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL flag being set. It is illegal to mix and match
polled and non-polled IO on an io_uring.

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.
