Async dio completions generally happen from hard/soft IRQ context, which means that users like iomap may need to defer some of the completion handling to a workqueue. This is less efficient than having the original issuer handle it, like we do for sync IO, and it adds latency to the completions. Add IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP, which the issuer can set if it is able to safely punt these completions to a safe context. If the dio handler is aware of this flag, assign a callback handler in kiocb->dio_complete and associated data io kiocb->private. The issuer will then call this handler with that data from task context. No functional changes in this patch. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
