While we have support for generic timeouts, we don't have a way to tie a timeout to a specific SQE. The generic timeouts simply trigger wakeups on the CQ ring. This adds support for IORING_OP_LINK_TIMEOUT. This command is only valid as a link to a previous command. The timeout specific can be either relative or absolute, following the same rules as IORING_OP_TIMEOUT. If the timeout triggers before the dependent command completes, it will attempt to cancel that command. Likewise, if the dependent command completes before the timeout triggers, it will cancel the timeout. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
