Pull io_uring large rx buffer support from Jens Axboe:
 "Now that the networking updates are upstream, here's the support for
  large buffers for zcrx.

  Using larger (bigger than 4K) rx buffers can increase the effiency of
  zcrx. For example, it's been shown that using 32K buffers can decrease
  CPU usage by ~30% compared to 4K buffers"

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Support for batch request processing for ublk, improving the
   efficiency of the kernel/ublk server communication. This can yield
   nice 7-12% performance improvements

 - Support for integrity data for ublk

 - Various other ublk improvements and additions, including a ton of
   selftests additions and updated

 - Move the handling of blk-crypto software fallback from below the
   block layer to above it. This reduces the complexity of dealing with
   bio splitting

 - Series fixing a number of potential deadlocks in blk-mq related to
   the queue usage counter and writeback throttling and rq-qos debugfs
   handling

 - Add an async_depth queue attribute, to resolve a performance
   regression that's been around for a qhilw related to the scheduler
   depth handling

 - Only use task_work for IOPOLL completions on NVMe, if it is necessary
   to do so. An earlier fix for an issue resulted in all these
   completions being punted to task_work, to guarantee that completions
   were only run for a given io_uring ring when it was local to that
   ring. With the new changes, we can detect if it's necessary to use
   task_work or not, and avoid it if possible.

Pull io_uring bpf filters from Jens Axboe:
 "This adds support for both cBPF filters for io_uring, as well as task
  inherited restrictions and filters.

  seccomp and io_uring don't play along nicely, as most of the
  interesting data to filter on resides somewhat out-of-band, in the
  submission queue ring.

  As a result, things like containers and systemd that apply seccomp
  filters, can't filter io_uring operations.

  That leaves them with just one choice if filtering is critical -
  filter the actual io_uring_setup(2) system call to simply disallow
  io_uring. That's rather unfortunate, and has limited us because of it.

  io_uring already has some filtering support. It requires the ring to
  be setup in a disabled state, and then a filter set can be applied.
  This filter set is completely bi-modal - an opcode is either enabled
  or it's not. Once a filter set is registered, the ring can be enabled.
  This is very restrictive, and it's not useful at all to systemd or
  containers which really want both broader and more specific control.

  This first adds support for cBPF filters for opcodes, which enables
  tighter control over what exactly a specific opcode may do. As
  examples, specific support is added for IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2,
  allowing filtering on resolve flags. And another example is added for
  IORING_OP_SOCKET, allowing filtering on domain/type/protocol. These
  are both common use cases. cBPF was chosen rather than eBPF, because
  the latter is often restricted in containers as well.

  These filters are run post the init phase of the request, which allows
  filters to even dip into data that is being passed in struct in user
  memory, as the init side of requests make that data stable by bringing
  it into the kernel. This allows filtering without needing to copy this
  data twice, or have filters etc know about the exact layout of the
  user data. The filters get the already copied and sanitized data
  passed.

  On top of that support is added for per-task filters, meaning that any
  ring created with a task that has a per-task filter will get those
  filters applied when it's created. These filters are inherited across
  fork as well. Once a filter has been registered, any further added
  filters may only further restrict what operations are permitted.

  Filters cannot change the return value of an operation, they can only
  permit or deny it based on the contents"

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Clean up the IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED and submitter task checking,
   mostly just in preparation for relaxing the locking for SINGLE_ISSUER
   in the future.

 - Improve IOPOLL by using a doubly linked list to manage completions.

   Previously it was singly listed, which meant that to complete request
   N in the chain 0..N-1 had to have completed first. With a doubly
   linked list we can complete whatever request completes in that order,
   rather than need to wait for a consecutive range to be available.
   This reduces latencies.

 - Improve the restriction setup and checking. Mostly in preparation for
   adding further features on top of that. Coming in a separate pull
   request.

 - Split out task_work and wait handling into separate files. These are
   mostly nicely abstracted already, but still remained in the
   io_uring.c file which is on the larger side.

 - Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT in a few more spots, where appropriate.

 - Ensure even the idle io-wq worker exits if a task no longer has any
   rings open.

 - Add support for a non-circular submission queue.

   By default, the SQ ring keeps moving around, even if only a few
   entries are used for each submission. This can be wasteful in terms
   of cachelines.

   If IORING_SETUP_SQ_REWIND is set for the ring when created, each
   submission will start at offset 0 instead of where we last left off
   doing submissions.

 - Various little cleanups

ed82f35b92 io_uring: allow registration of per-task restrictions
Currently io_uring supports restricting operations on a per-ring basis.
To use those, the ring must be setup in a disabled state by setting
IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED. Then restrictions can be set for the ring, and
the ring can then be enabled.

This commit adds support for IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS with ring_fd
== -1, like the other "blind" register opcodes which work on the task
rather than a specific ring. This allows registration of the same kind
of restrictions as can been done on a specific ring, but with the task
itself. Once done, any ring created will inherit these restrictions.

If a restriction filter is registered with a task, then it's inherited
on fork for its children. Children may only further restrict operations,
not extend them.

Inheriting restrictions include both the classic
IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS based restrictions, as well as the BPF
filters that have been registered with the task via
IORING_REGISTER_BPF_FILTER.

442ae40660 io_uring/kbuf: fix memory leak if io_buffer_add_list fails
io_register_pbuf_ring() ignores the return value of io_buffer_add_list(),
which can fail if xa_store() returns an error (e.g., -ENOMEM). When this
happens, the function returns 0 (success) to the caller, but the
io_buffer_list structure is neither added to the xarray nor freed.

In practice this requires failure injection to hit, hence not a real
issue. But it should get fixed up none the less.

io_uring keeps a per-task io-wq around, even when the task no longer has
any io_uring instances.

If the task previously used io_uring for file I/O, this can leave an
unrelated iou-wrk-* worker thread behind after the last io_uring
instance is gone.

io-wq exit-on-idle so workers can go away. Clear the flag on subsequent
io_uring usage.

For tasks that used io_uring for file I/O and then stop using io_uring,

806ae939c4 io_uring/net: don't continue send bundle if poll was required for retry
If a send bundle has picked a bunch of buffers, then it needs to send
all of those to be complete. This may require poll arming, if the send
buffer ends up being full. Once a send bundle has been poll armed, no
further bundles should be attempted.

This allows a current bundle to complete even though it needs to go
through polling to do so, but it will not allow another bundle to be
started once that has happened. Ideally we would abort a bundle if it
was only partially sent, but as some parts of it already went out on the
wire, this obviously isn't feasible. Not continuing more bundle attempts
post encountering a full socket buffer is the second best thing.

d42eb05e60 io_uring: add support for BPF filtering for opcode restrictions
Add support for loading classic BPF programs with io_uring to provide
fine-grained filtering of SQE operations. Unlike
IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS which only allows bitmap-based allow/deny
of opcodes, BPF filters can inspect request attributes and make dynamic
decisions.

The filter is registered via IORING_REGISTER_BPF_FILTER with a struct
io_uring_bpf:

struct io_uring_bpf_filter {
	__u32	opcode;		/* io_uring opcode to filter */
	__u32	flags;
	__u32	filter_len;	/* number of BPF instructions */
	__u32	resv;
	__u64	filter_ptr;	/* pointer to BPF filter */
	__u64	resv2[5];
};

enum {
	IO_URING_BPF_CMD_FILTER	= 1,
};

struct io_uring_bpf {
	__u16	cmd_type;	/* IO_URING_BPF_* values */
	__u16	cmd_flags;	/* none so far */
	__u32	resv;
	union {
		struct io_uring_bpf_filter	filter;
	};
};

and the filters get supplied a struct io_uring_bpf_ctx:

struct io_uring_bpf_ctx {
	__u64	user_data;
	__u8	opcode;
	__u8	sqe_flags;
	__u8	pdu_size;
	__u8	pad[5];
};

where it's possible to filter on opcode and sqe_flags, with pdu_size
indicating how much extra data is being passed in beyond the pad field.
This will used for specific finer grained filtering inside an opcode.
An example of that for sockets is in one of the following patches.
Anything the opcode supports can end up in this struct, populated by
the opcode itself, and hence can be filtered for.

Filters have the following semantics:
  - Return 1 to allow the request
  - Return 0 to deny the request with -EACCES
  - Multiple filters can be stacked per opcode. All filters must
    return 1 for the opcode to be allowed.
  - Filters are evaluated in registration order (most recent first)

The implementation uses classic BPF (cBPF) rather than eBPF for as
that's required for containers, and since they can be used by any
user in the system.

There are network cards that support receive buffers larger than 4K, and

Allows zcrx users to specify the size in struct
io_uring_zcrx_ifq_reg::rx_buf_len. If set to zero, zcrx will use a
default value. zcrx will check and fail if the memory backing the area
can't be split into physically contiguous chunks of the required size.
It's more restrictive as it only needs dma addresses to be contig, but
that's beyond this series.

816095894c io_uring/io-wq: handle !sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs
If the hung_task_timeout sysctl is set to 0, then we'll end up busy
looping inside io_wq_exit_workers() after an earlier commit switched to
using wait_for_completion_timeout(). Use the maximum schedule timeout
value for that case.

82dadc8a49 io_uring/rsrc: take unsigned index in io_rsrc_node_lookup()
io_rsrc_node_lookup() takes a signed int index as input and compares it
to an unsigned length. Since the signed int is implicitly cast to an
unsigned int for the comparison and the length is bounded by
IORING_MAX_FIXED_FILES/IORING_MAX_REG_BUFFERS, negative indices are
already rejected on architectures where int is at least 32 bits. Make
this a bit clearer and avoid compiler warnings for comparisons of
signed and unsigned values by taking an unsigned int index instead.

5247c034a6 io_uring: introduce non-circular SQ
Outside of SQPOLL, normally SQ entries are consumed by the time the
submission syscall returns. For those cases we don't need a circular
buffer and the head/tail tracking, instead the kernel can assume that
entries always start from the beginning of the SQ at index 0. This patch
introduces a setup flag doing exactly that. It's a simpler and helps
to keeps SQEs hot in cache.

The feature is optional and enabled by setting IORING_SETUP_SQ_REWIND.
The flag is rejected if passed together with SQPOLL as it'd require
waiting for SQ before each submission. It also requires
IORING_SETUP_NO_SQARRAY, which can be supported but it's unlikely there
will be users, so leave more space for future optimisations.

f7bc22ca0d nvme/io_uring: optimize IOPOLL completions for local ring context
When multiple io_uring rings poll on the same NVMe queue, one ring can
find completions belonging to another ring. The current code always
uses task_work to handle this, but this adds overhead for the common
single-ring case.

This patch passes the polling io_ring_ctx through io_comp_batch's new
poll_ctx field. In io_do_iopoll(), the polling ring's context is stored
in iob.poll_ctx before calling the iopoll callbacks.

In nvme_uring_cmd_end_io(), we now compare iob->poll_ctx with the
request's owning io_ring_ctx (via io_uring_cmd_ctx_handle()). If they
match (local context), we complete inline with io_uring_cmd_done32().
If they differ (remote context) or iob is NULL (non-iopoll path), we
use task_work as before.

This optimization eliminates task_work scheduling overhead for the
common case where a ring polls and finds its own completions.

~10% IOPS improvement is observed in the following benchmark:

fio/t/io_uring -b512 -d128 -c32 -s32 -p1 -F1 -O0 -P1 -u1 -n1 /dev/ng0n1

42b12cb5fd io_uring/timeout: annotate data race in io_flush_timeouts()
syzbot correctly reports this as a KCSAN race, as ctx->cached_cq_tail
should be read under ->uring_lock. This isn't immediately feasible in
io_flush_timeouts(), but as long as we read a stable value, that should
be good enough. If two io-wq threads compete on this value, then they
will both end up calling io_flush_timeouts() and at least one of them
will see the correct value.

10dc959398 io_uring/io-wq: check IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT inside work run loop
Currently this is checked before running the pending work. Normally this
is quite fine, as work items either end up blocking (which will create a
new worker for other items), or they complete fairly quickly. But syzbot
reports an issue where io-wq takes seemingly forever to exit, and with a
bit of debugging, this turns out to be because it queues a bunch of big
(2GB - 4096b) reads with a /dev/msr* file. Since this file type doesn't
support ->read_iter(), loop_rw_iter() ends up handling them. Each read
returns 16MB of data read, which takes 20 (!!) seconds. With a bunch of
these pending, processing the whole chain can take a long time. Easily
longer than the syzbot uninterruptible sleep timeout of 140 seconds.
This then triggers a complaint off the io-wq exit path:

INFO: task syz.4.135:6326 blocked for more than 143 seconds.

There's really nothing wrong here, outside of processing these reads
will take a LONG time. However, we can speed up the exit by checking the
IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT inside the io_worker_handle_work() loop, as syzbot will
exit the ring after queueing up all of these reads. Then once the first
item is processed, io-wq will simply cancel the rest. That should avoid
syzbot running into this complaint again.

da579f05ef io_uring: move local task_work in exit cancel loop
With IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN, task work is queued to ctx->work_llist
(local work) rather than the fallback list. During io_ring_exit_work(),
io_move_task_work_from_local() was called once before the cancel loop,
moving work from work_llist to fallback_llist.

However, task work can be added to work_llist during the cancel loop
itself. There are two cases:

1) io_kill_timeouts() is called from io_uring_try_cancel_requests() to
cancel pending timeouts, and it adds task work via io_req_queue_tw_complete()
for each cancelled timeout:

2) URING_CMD requests like ublk can be completed via
io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task() from ublk_queue_rq() during canceling,
given ublk request queue is only quiesced when canceling the 1st uring_cmd.

Since io_allowed_defer_tw_run() returns false in io_ring_exit_work()
(kworker != submitter_task), io_run_local_work() is never invoked,
and the work_llist entries are never processed. This causes
io_uring_try_cancel_requests() to loop indefinitely, resulting in
100% CPU usage in kworker threads.

Fix this by moving io_move_task_work_from_local() inside the cancel
loop, ensuring any work on work_llist is moved to fallback before
each cancel attempt.
