"This contains:
- Support for recvmsg/sendmsg as first class opcodes.
I don't envision going much further down this path, as there are
plans in progress to support potentially any system call in an
async fashion through io_uring. But I think it does make sense to
have certain core ops available directly, especially those that can
support a "try this non-blocking" flag/mode. (me)
- Handle generic short reads automatically.
This can happen fairly easily if parts of the buffered read is
cached. Since the application needs to issue another request for
the remainder, just do this internally and save kernel/user
roundtrip while providing a nicer more robust API. (me)
- Support for linked SQEs.
This allows SQEs to depend on each other, enabling an application
to eg queue a read-from-this-file,write-to-that-file pair. (me)
- Fix race in stopping SQ thread (Jackie)"

This is the minimal fix for stable, I'll send cleanups later.
Commit 854a6ed568 ("signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()") introduced
the visible change which breaks user-space: a signal temporary unblocked
by set_user_sigmask() can be delivered even if the caller returns
success or timeout.
Change restore_user_sigmask() to accept the additional "interrupted"
argument which should be used instead of signal_pending() check, and
update the callers.
Eric said:
: For clarity. I don't think this is required by posix, or fundamentally to
: remove the races in select. It is what linux has always done and we have
: applications who care so I agree this fix is needed.
:
: Further in any case where the semantic change that this patch rolls back
: (aka where allowing a signal to be delivered and the select like call to

: Michael is there any chance we can get this guarantee of the linux

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.

which occurs because using a kernel side submission thread isn't valid
without using fixed files (registered through io_uring_register()). This
causes io_uring to put the request after logging an error, but before
the file field is set in the request. If it happens to be non-zero, we
attempt to fput() garbage.
Fix this by ensuring that req->file is initialized when the request is
allocated.

Opening and closing an io_uring instance leaks a UNIX domain socket
inode. This is because the ->file of the io_uring instance's internal
UNIX domain socket is set to point to the io_uring file, but then
sock_release() sees the non-NULL ->file and assumes the inode reference
is held by the file so doesn't call iput(). That's not the case here,
since the reference is still meant to be held by the socket; the actual
inode of the io_uring file is different.
Fix this leak by NULL-ing out ->file before releasing the socket.

We can encounter a short read when we're doing buffered reads and the
data is partially cached. Right now we just return the short read, but
that forces the application to read that CQE, then issue another SQE
to finish the read. That read will not be cached, and hence will result
in an async punt.
It's more efficient to do that async punt from within the kernel, as
that will the not need two round trips more to the kernel.

o kthread_park() waits for park completion, so io_sq_thread() loop
should check kthread_should_park() along with khread_should_stop(),
otherwise if kthread_park() is called before prepare_to_wait()
the following schedule() never returns:
CPU#0 CPU#1
io_sq_thread_stop(): io_sq_thread():
while(!kthread_should_stop() && !ctx->sqo_stop) {
ctx->sqo_stop = 1;
kthread_park()

if (kthread_should_stop() {
}
schedule(); <<< nobody checks park flag,
<<< so schedule and never return
o if the flag ctx->sqo_stop is observed by the io_sq_thread() loop
it is quite possible, that kthread_should_park() check and the
following kthread_parkme() is never called, because kthread_park()
has not been yet called, but few moments later is is called and
waits there for park completion, which never happens, because
kthread has already exited:
CPU#0 CPU#1
io_sq_thread_stop(): io_sq_thread():
ctx->sqo_stop = 1;
while(!kthread_should_stop() && !ctx->sqo_stop) {
<<< observe sqo_stop and exit the loop
}
if (kthread_should_park())
kthread_parkme(); <<< never called, since was
<<< never parked
kthread_park() <<< waits forever for park completion
In the current patch we quit the loop by only kthread_should_park()
check (kthread_park() is synchronous, so kthread_should_stop() is
never observed), and we abandon ->sqo_stop flag, since it is racy.
At the end of the io_sq_thread() we unconditionally call parmke(),
since we've exited the loop by the park flag.

io_uring_setup(1, 0x7ffe2cafebe0), flags: IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL|IORING_SETUP_SQ_AFF, resv: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000, sq_thread_cpu: 4
expected -1, got 3
This is in a vm, and CPU3 is the last valid one, hence asking for 4
should fail the setup with -EINVAL, not succeed. The problem is that
we're using array_index_nospec() with nr_cpu_ids as the index, hence we
wrap and end up using CPU0 instead of CPU4. This makes the setup
succeed where it should be failing.
We don't need to use array_index_nospec() as we're not indexing any
array with this. Instead just compare with nr_cpu_ids directly. This
is fine as we're checking with cpu_online() afterwards.

Pach series "Add FOLL_LONGTERM to GUP fast and use it".
HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to its performance
advantages. These pages can be held for a significant time. But
get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping FS DAX pages.
Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which
retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks. XDP has also
shown interest in using this functionality.[1]
In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag
and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call.

"longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer.
This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and
can't move. I've thought of a couple of alternative names but I think we
have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or something else to
solve the "longterm" problem. Then I think we can change the flag to a
better name.
Secondly, it depends on how often you are registering memory. I have
spoken with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path...
For the overall application performance. I don't have the numbers as the
tests for HFI1 were done a long time ago. But there was a significant
advantage. Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have
to hold mmap_sem.
Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use
*_fast. There are patches submitted to the RDMA list which would allow
the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they
are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well. Also
to this point others are looking to use *_fast.
As an aside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and
*_unlocked look very much the same. I agree and I think further cleanup
will be coming. But I'm focused on getting the final solution for DAX at
the moment.
This patch (of 7):
This patch starts a series which aims to support FOLL_LONGTERM in
get_user_pages_fast(). Some callers who would like to do a longterm (user
controlled pin) of pages with the fast variant of GUP for performance
purposes.
Rather than have a separate get_user_pages_longterm() call, introduce
FOLL_LONGTERM and change the longterm callers to use it.
This patch does not change any functionality. In the short term
"longterm" or user controlled pins are unsafe for Filesystems and FS DAX
in particular has been blocked. However, callers of get_user_pages_fast()
were not "protected".
FOLL_LONGTERM can _only_ be supported with get_user_pages[_fast]() as it
requires vmas to determine if DAX is in use.
NOTE: In merging with the CMA changes we opt to change the
get_user_pages() call in check_and_migrate_cma_pages() to a call of
__get_user_pages_locked() on the newly migrated pages. This makes the
code read better in that we are calling __get_user_pages_locked() on the
pages before and after a potential migration.
As a side affect some of the interfaces are cleaned up but this is not the
primary purpose of the series.
In review[1] it was asked:

When punting to workers the SQE gets copied after the initial try.
There is a race condition between reading SQE data for the initial try
and copying it for punting it to the workers.
For example io_rw_done calls kiocb->ki_complete even if it was prepared
for IORING_OP_FSYNC (and would be NULL).
The easiest solution for now is to alway prepare again in the worker.
req->file is safe to prepare though as long as it is checked before use.

When test run, the testcase "attempt to bind to invalid cpu" would not

On my system, there is:
CPU(s) possible : 0-3
CPU(s) online : 0-1
CPU(s) offline : 2-3
CPU(s) present : 0-1
The sq_thread_cpu 2 is offline on my system, so the bind should fail.
But cpu_possible() will pass the check. We shouldn't be able to bind
to an offline cpu. Use cpu_online() to do the check.
After the change, the testcase run as expected: EINVAL will be returned
for cpu offlined.

Currently variable ret is declared in a while-loop code block that
shadows another variable ret. When an error occurs in the while-loop
the error return in ret is not being set in the outer code block and
so the error check on ret is always going to be checking on the wrong
ret variable resulting in check that is always going to be true and
a premature return occurs.
Fix this by removing the declaration of the inner while-loop variable
ret so that shadowing does not occur.

Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.

In io_sqe_buffer_register() we allocate a number of arrays based on the
iov_len from the user-provided iov. While we limit iov_len to SZ_1G,
we can still attempt to allocate arrays exceeding MAX_ORDER.
On a 64-bit system with 4KiB pages, for an iov where iov_base = 0x10 and
iov_len = SZ_1G, we'll calculate that nr_pages = 262145. When we try to
allocate a corresponding array of (16-byte) bio_vecs, requiring 4194320
bytes, which is greater than 4MiB. This results in SLUB warning that
we're trying to allocate greater than MAX_ORDER, and failing the
allocation.
Avoid this by using kvmalloc() for allocations dependent on the
user-provided iov_len. At the same time, fix a leak of imu->bvec when
registration fails.

In io_sq_offload_start(), we call cpu_possible() on an unbounded cpu
value from userspace. On v5.1-rc7 on arm64 with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS, this results in a splat:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 27601 at include/linux/cpumask.h:121 cpu_max_bits_warn include/linux/cpumask.h:121 [inline]
There was an attempt to fix this in commit:
917257daa0 ("io_uring: only test SQPOLL cpu after we've verified it")
... by adding a check after the cpu value had been limited to NR_CPU_IDS
using array_index_nospec(). However, this left an unbound check at the
start of the function, for which the warning still fires.
Let's fix this correctly by checking that the cpu value is bound by
nr_cpu_ids before passing it to cpu_possible(). Note that only
nr_cpu_ids of a cpumask are guaranteed to exist at runtime, and
nr_cpu_ids can be significantly smaller than NR_CPUs. For example, an
arm64 defconfig has NR_CPUS=256, while my test VM has 4 vCPUs.
Following the intent from the commit message for 917257daa0, the
check is moved under the SQ_AFF branch, which is the only branch where
the cpu values is consumed. The check is performed before bounding the
value with array_index_nospec() so that we don't silently accept bogus
cpu values from userspace, where array_index_nospec() would force these
values to 0.
I suspect we can remove the array_index_nospec() call entirely, but I've
conservatively left that in place, updated to use nr_cpu_ids to match
the prior check.

Simplied the logic
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Currently we only post a cqe if we get an error OUTSIDE of submission.
For submission, we return the error directly through io_uring_enter().
This is a bit awkward for applications, and it makes more sense to
always post a cqe with an error, if the error happens on behalf of an
sqe.
This changes submission behavior a bit. io_uring_enter() returns -ERROR
for an error, and > 0 for number of sqes submitted. Before this change,
if you wanted to submit 8 entries and had an error on the 5th entry,
io_uring_enter() would return 4 (for number of entries successfully
submitted) and rewind the sqring. The application would then have to
peek at the sqring and figure out what was wrong with the head sqe, and
then skip it itself. With this change, we'll return 5 since we did
consume 5 sqes, and the last sqe (with the error) will result in a cqe
being posted with the error.
This makes the logic easier to handle in the application, and it cleans
up the submission part.

dying. This is safe since we're inside the io_uring mutex.

This is a leftover from when the rings initially were not free flowing,
and hence a test for tail + 1 == head would indicate full. Since we now
let them wrap instead of mask them with the size, we need to check if
they drift more than the ring size from each other.
This fixes a case where we'd overwrite CQ ring entries, if the user
failed to reap completions. Both cases would ultimately result in lost
completions as the application violated the depth it asked for. The only
difference is that before this fix we'd return invalid entries for the
overflowed completions, instead of properly flagging it in the
cq_ring->overflow variable.

If we have multiple threads, one doing io_uring_enter() while the other
is doing io_uring_register(), we can run into a deadlock between the
two. io_uring_register() must wait for existing users of the io_uring
instance to exit. But it does so while holding the io_uring mutex.
Callers of io_uring_enter() may need this mutex to make progress (and
eventually exit). If we wait for users to exit in io_uring_register(),
we can't do so with the io_uring mutex held without potentially risking
a deadlock.
Drop the io_uring mutex while waiting for existing callers to exit. This
is safe and guaranteed to make forward progress, since we already killed
the percpu ref before doing so. Hence later callers of io_uring_enter()
will be rejected.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Add a new fsync opcode, which either syncs a range if one is passed,
or the whole file if the offset and length fields are both cleared
to zero. A flag is provided to use fdatasync semantics, that is only
force out metadata which is required to retrieve the file data, but
not others like metadata.

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.
