Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Add a callback driven main loop for io_uring, and BPF struct_ops
on top to allow implementing custom event loop logic
- Decouple IOPOLL from being a ring-wide all-or-nothing setting,
allowing IOPOLL use cases to also issue certain white listed
non-polled opcodes
- Timeout improvements. Migrate internal timeout storage from
timespec64 to ktime_t for simpler arithmetic and avoid copying of
timespec data
- Zero-copy receive (zcrx) updates:
- Add a device-less mode (ZCRX_REG_NODEV) for testing and
experimentation where data flows through the copy fallback path
- Fix two-step unregistration regression, DMA length calculations,
xarray mark usage, and a potential 32-bit overflow in id
shifting
- Refactoring toward multi-area support: dedicated refill queue
struct, consolidated DMA syncing, netmem array refilling format,
and guard-based locking
- Zero-copy transmit (zctx) cleanup:
- Unify io_send_zc() and io_sendmsg_zc() into a single function
- Add vectorized registered buffer send for IORING_OP_SEND_ZC
- Add separate notification user_data via sqe->addr3 so
notification and completion CQEs can be distinguished without
extra reference counting
- Switch struct io_ring_ctx internal bitfields to explicit flag bits
with atomic-safe accessors, and annotate the known harmless races on
those flags
- Various optimizations caching ctx and other request fields in local
variables to avoid repeated loads, and cleanups for tctx setup, ring
fd registration, and read path early returns
