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.

Switch to passing in the creds and mm when the work item is setup. This
means that async work is no longer deferred to the io_uring mm and creds,
it is done with the current mm and creds.
Flag this behavior with IORING_FEAT_CUR_PERSONALITY, so applications know
they can rely on the current personality (mm and creds) being the same

Currently we're using 40 bytes for the io_wq_work structure, and 16 of
those is the doubly link list node. We don't need doubly linked lists,
we always add to tail to keep things ordered, and any other use case
is list traversal with deletion. For the deletion case, we can easily
support any node deletion by keeping track of the previous entry.

io_uring to 216 to 208 bytes.

There are several things that can go wrong in the current code on NUMA
systems, especially if not all nodes are online all the time:
- If the identifiers of the online nodes do not form a single contiguous
block starting at zero, wq->wqes will be too small, and OOB memory
accesses will occur e.g. in the loop in io_wq_create().
- If a node comes online between the call to num_online_nodes() and the
for_each_node() loop in io_wq_create(), an OOB write will occur.
- If a node comes online between io_wq_create() and io_wq_enqueue(), a
lookup is performed for an element that doesn't exist, and an OOB read
will probably occur.
Fix it by:
- using nr_node_ids instead of num_online_nodes() for the allocation size;
nr_node_ids is calculated by setup_nr_node_ids() to be bigger than the
highest node ID that could possibly come online at some point, even if
those nodes' identifiers are not a contiguous block
- creating workers for all possible CPUs, not just all online ones
This is basically what the normal workqueue code also does, as far as I can
tell.

When we find new work to process within the work handler, we queue the

Allow the work handler to store a callback function for this in the work
item, and flag it with IO_WQ_WORK_CB if the caller has done so. If that
is set, then io-wq will call the callback when it has setup the new work
item.

We currently have a race where if setup is really slow, we can be
calling io_wq_destroy() before we're done setting up. This will cause
the caller to get stuck waiting for the manager to set things up, but
the manager already exited.
Fix this by doing a sync setup of the manager. This also fixes the case
where if we failed creating workers, we'd also get stuck.
In practice this race window was really small, as we already wait for
the manager to start. Hence someone would have to call io_wq_destroy()
after the task has started, but before it started the first loop. The
reported test case forked tons of these, which is why it became an

We have two lists for workers in io-wq, a busy and a free list. For

protected, we can potentially miss workers if they move between the two
lists while we're browsing them.
Add a third list, all_list, that simply holds all workers. A worker is
added to that list when it starts, and removed when it exits. This makes
the worker iteration cleaner, too.

worker->cur_work is currently protected by the lock of the wqe that the
worker belongs to. When we send a signal to a worker, we need a stable
view of ->cur_work, so we need to hold that lock. But this doesn't work
so well, since we have the opposite order potentially on queueing work.
If POLL_ADD is used with a signalfd, then io_poll_wake() is called with
the signal lock, and that sometimes needs to insert work items.
Add a specific worker lock that protects the current work item. Then we
can guarantee that the task we're sending a signal is currently

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

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.
