If we're going to ever support multiple types of resources we need shared rsrc nodes to not bloat requests, that is implemented in this patch. It also gives a nicer API and saves one pointer dereference in io_req_set_rsrc_node(). We may say that all requests bound to a resource belong to one and only one rsrc node, and considering that nodes are removed and recycled strictly in-order, this separates requests into generations, where generation are changed on each node switch (i.e. io_rsrc_node_switch()). The API is simple, io_rsrc_node_switch() switches to a new generation if needed, and also optionally kills a passed in io_rsrc_data. Each call to io_rsrc_node_switch() have to be preceded with io_rsrc_node_switch_start(). The start function is idempotent and should not necessarily be followed by switch. One difference is that once a node was set it will always retain a valid rsrc node, even on unregister. It may be a nuisance at the moment, but makes much sense for multiple types of resources. Another thing changed is that nodes are bound to/associated with a io_rsrc_data later just before killing (i.e. switching).

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.
