Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
"This contains:
- Support for recvmsg/sendmsg as first class opcodes.
I don't envision going much further down this path, as there are
plans in progress to support potentially any system call in an
async fashion through io_uring. But I think it does make sense to
have certain core ops available directly, especially those that can
support a "try this non-blocking" flag/mode. (me)
- Handle generic short reads automatically.
This can happen fairly easily if parts of the buffered read is
cached. Since the application needs to issue another request for
the remainder, just do this internally and save kernel/user
roundtrip while providing a nicer more robust API. (me)
- Support for linked SQEs.
This allows SQEs to depend on each other, enabling an application
to eg queue a read-from-this-file,write-to-that-file pair. (me)
- Fix race in stopping SQ thread (Jackie)"

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.
