Once a ring has been created, the size of the CQ and SQ rings are fixed. Usually this isn't a problem on the SQ ring side, as it merely controls the available number of requests that can be submitted in a single system call, and there's rarely a need to change that. For the CQ ring, it's a different story. For most efficient use of io_uring, it's important that the CQ ring never overflows. This means that applications must size it for the worst case scenario, which can be wasteful. Add IORING_REGISTER_RESIZE_RINGS, which allows an application to resize the existing rings. It takes a struct io_uring_params argument, the same one which is used to setup the ring initially, and resizes rings according to the sizes given. Certain properties are always inherited from the original ring setup, like SQE128/CQE32 and other setup options. The implementation only allows flag associated with how the CQ ring is sized and clamped. Existing unconsumed SQE and CQE entries are copied as part of the process. If either the SQ or CQ resized destination ring cannot hold the entries already present in the source rings, then the operation is failed with -EOVERFLOW. Any register op holds ->uring_lock, which prevents new submissions, and the internal mapping holds the completion lock as well across moving CQ ring state. To prevent races between mmap and ring resizing, add a mutex that's solely used to serialize ring resize and mmap. mmap_sem can't be used here, as as fork'ed process may be doing mmaps on the ring as well. The ctx->resize_lock is held across mmap operations, and the resize will grab it before swapping out the already mapped new data. 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 reStructuredText 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.
