This new flag should be set/clear from the application to
disable/enable eventfd notifications when a request is completed
and queued to the CQ ring.
Before this patch, notifications were always sent if an eventfd is
registered, so IORING_CQ_EVENTFD_DISABLED is not set during the

It will be up to the application to set the flag after initialization
if no notifications are required at the beginning.

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.

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.

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
IO on this particular file.

about 0.7s.

Some commands will invariably end in a failure in the sense that the

For linked commands, we sever links and fail the rest of the chain if
the result is less than zero. Since we have commands where we know that

regardless of the completion result. Note that the link will still sever
if we fail submitting the parent request, hard links are only resilient
in the presence of completion results for requests that did submit

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.

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

We currently size the CQ ring as twice the SQ ring, to allow some
flexibility in not overflowing the CQ ring. This is done because the
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.
If an application wants to define its own CQ ring size, it must set
