Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Add a callback driven main loop for io_uring, and BPF struct_ops
   on top to allow implementing custom event loop logic

 - Decouple IOPOLL from being a ring-wide all-or-nothing setting,
   allowing IOPOLL use cases to also issue certain white listed
   non-polled opcodes

 - Timeout improvements. Migrate internal timeout storage from
   timespec64 to ktime_t for simpler arithmetic and avoid copying of
   timespec data

 - Zero-copy receive (zcrx) updates:

      - Add a device-less mode (ZCRX_REG_NODEV) for testing and
        experimentation where data flows through the copy fallback path

      - Fix two-step unregistration regression, DMA length calculations,
        xarray mark usage, and a potential 32-bit overflow in id
        shifting

      - Refactoring toward multi-area support: dedicated refill queue
        struct, consolidated DMA syncing, netmem array refilling format,
        and guard-based locking

 - Zero-copy transmit (zctx) cleanup:

      - Unify io_send_zc() and io_sendmsg_zc() into a single function

      - Add vectorized registered buffer send for IORING_OP_SEND_ZC

      - Add separate notification user_data via sqe->addr3 so
        notification and completion CQEs can be distinguished without
        extra reference counting

 - Switch struct io_ring_ctx internal bitfields to explicit flag bits
   with atomic-safe accessors, and annotate the known harmless races on
   those flags

 - Various optimizations caching ctx and other request fields in local
   variables to avoid repeated loads, and cleanups for tctx setup, ring
   fd registration, and read path early returns

Jens Axboe c5e9f6a96b io_uring: unify getting ctx from passed in file descriptor
io_uring_enter() and io_uring_register() end up having duplicated code
for getting a ctx from a passed in file descriptor, for either a
registered ring descriptor or a normal file descriptor. Move the
io_uring_register_get_file() into io_uring.c and name it a bit more
generically, and use it from both callsites rather than have that logic
and handling duplicated.

Jens Axboe 61a11cf481 io_uring: protect remaining lockless ctx->rings accesses with RCU
Commit 9618908026 addressed one case of ctx->rings being potentially
accessed while a resize is happening on the ring, but there are still
a few others that need handling. Add a helper for retrieving the
rings associated with an io_uring context, and add some sanity checking
to that to catch bad uses. ->rings_rcu is always valid, as long as it's
used within RCU read lock. Any use of ->rings_rcu or ->rings inside
either ->uring_lock or ->completion_lock is sane as well.

Do the minimum fix for the current kernel, but set it up such that this
basic infra can be extended for later kernels to make this harder to
mess up in the future.

Thanks to Junxi Qian for finding and debugging this issue.

Linus Torvalds 591beb0e3a Merge tag 'io_uring-bpf-restrictions.4-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux
Pull io_uring bpf filters from Jens Axboe:
 "This adds support for both cBPF filters for io_uring, as well as task
  inherited restrictions and filters.

  seccomp and io_uring don't play along nicely, as most of the
  interesting data to filter on resides somewhat out-of-band, in the
  submission queue ring.

  As a result, things like containers and systemd that apply seccomp
  filters, can't filter io_uring operations.

  That leaves them with just one choice if filtering is critical -
  filter the actual io_uring_setup(2) system call to simply disallow
  io_uring. That's rather unfortunate, and has limited us because of it.

  io_uring already has some filtering support. It requires the ring to
  be setup in a disabled state, and then a filter set can be applied.
  This filter set is completely bi-modal - an opcode is either enabled
  or it's not. Once a filter set is registered, the ring can be enabled.
  This is very restrictive, and it's not useful at all to systemd or
  containers which really want both broader and more specific control.

  This first adds support for cBPF filters for opcodes, which enables
  tighter control over what exactly a specific opcode may do. As
  examples, specific support is added for IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2,
  allowing filtering on resolve flags. And another example is added for
  IORING_OP_SOCKET, allowing filtering on domain/type/protocol. These
  are both common use cases. cBPF was chosen rather than eBPF, because
  the latter is often restricted in containers as well.

  These filters are run post the init phase of the request, which allows
  filters to even dip into data that is being passed in struct in user
  memory, as the init side of requests make that data stable by bringing
  it into the kernel. This allows filtering without needing to copy this
  data twice, or have filters etc know about the exact layout of the
  user data. The filters get the already copied and sanitized data
  passed.

  On top of that support is added for per-task filters, meaning that any
  ring created with a task that has a per-task filter will get those
  filters applied when it's created. These filters are inherited across
  fork as well. Once a filter has been registered, any further added
  filters may only further restrict what operations are permitted.

  Filters cannot change the return value of an operation, they can only
  permit or deny it based on the contents"

Jens Axboe ed82f35b92 io_uring: allow registration of per-task restrictions
Currently io_uring supports restricting operations on a per-ring basis.
To use those, the ring must be setup in a disabled state by setting
IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED. Then restrictions can be set for the ring, and
the ring can then be enabled.

This commit adds support for IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS with ring_fd
== -1, like the other "blind" register opcodes which work on the task
rather than a specific ring. This allows registration of the same kind
of restrictions as can been done on a specific ring, but with the task
itself. Once done, any ring created will inherit these restrictions.

If a restriction filter is registered with a task, then it's inherited
on fork for its children. Children may only further restrict operations,
not extend them.

Inheriting restrictions include both the classic
IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS based restrictions, as well as the BPF
filters that have been registered with the task via
IORING_REGISTER_BPF_FILTER.

Pavel BegunkovandJens Axboe 5247c034a6 io_uring: introduce non-circular SQ
Outside of SQPOLL, normally SQ entries are consumed by the time the
submission syscall returns. For those cases we don't need a circular
buffer and the head/tail tracking, instead the kernel can assume that
entries always start from the beginning of the SQ at index 0. This patch
introduces a setup flag doing exactly that. It's a simpler and helps
to keeps SQEs hot in cache.

The feature is optional and enabled by setting IORING_SETUP_SQ_REWIND.
The flag is rejected if passed together with SQPOLL as it'd require
waiting for SQ before each submission. It also requires
IORING_SETUP_NO_SQARRAY, which can be supported but it's unlikely there
will be users, so leave more space for future optimisations.

Keith BuschandJens Axboe 1cba30bf9f io_uring: add support for IORING_SETUP_SQE_MIXED
Normal rings support 64b SQEs for posting submissions, while certain
features require the ring to be configured with IORING_SETUP_SQE128, as
they need to convey more information per submission. This, in turn,
makes ALL the SQEs be 128b in size. This is somewhat wasteful and
inefficient, particularly when only certain SQEs need to be of the
bigger variant.

This adds support for setting up a ring with mixed SQE sizes, using
IORING_SETUP_SQE_MIXED. When setup in this mode, SQEs posted to the ring
may be either 64b or 128b in size. If a SQE is 128b in size, then opcode
will be set to a variante to indicate that this is the case. Any other
non-128b opcode will assume the SQ's default size.

SQEs on these types of mixed rings may also utilize NOP with skip
success set.  This can happen if the ring is one (small) SQE entry away
from wrapping, and an attempt is made to get a 128b SQE. As SQEs must be
contiguous in the SQ ring, a 128b SQE cannot wrap the ring. For this
case, a single NOP SQE should be inserted with the SKIP_SUCCESS flag
set. The kernel will process this as a normal NOP and without posting a
CQE.

Jens Axboe 7be20254a7 io_uring: unify task_work cancelation checks
Rather than do per-tw checking, which needs to dip into the task_struct
for checking flags, do it upfront before running task_work. This places
a 'cancel' member in io_tw_token_t, which is assigned before running
task_work for that given ctx.

This is both more efficient in doing it upfront rather than for every
task_work, and it means that io_should_terminate_tw() can be made
private in io_uring.c rather than need to be called by various
callbacks of task_work.

Linus Torvalds 5832d26433 Merge tag 'for-6.18/io_uring-20250929' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux
Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Store ring provided buffers locally for the users, rather than stuff
   them into struct io_kiocb.

   These types of buffers must always be fully consumed or recycled in
   the current context, and leaving them in struct io_kiocb is hence not
   a good ideas as that struct has a vastly different life time.

   Basically just an architecture cleanup that can help prevent issues
   with ring provided buffers in the future.

 - Support for mixed CQE sizes in the same ring.

   Before this change, a CQ ring either used the default 16b CQEs, or it
   was setup with 32b CQE using IORING_SETUP_CQE32. For use cases where
   a few 32b CQEs were needed, this caused everything else to use big
   CQEs. This is wasteful both in terms of memory usage, but also memory
   bandwidth for the posted CQEs.

   With IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED, applications may use request types that
   post both normal 16b and big 32b CQEs on the same ring.

 - Add helpers for async data management, to make it harder for opcode
   handlers to mess it up.

 - Add support for multishot for uring_cmd, which ublk can use. This
   helps improve efficiency, by providing a persistent request type that
   can trigger multiple CQEs.

 - Add initial support for ring feature querying.

   We had basic support for probe operations, but the API isn't great.
   Rather than expand that, add support for QUERY which is easily
   expandable and can cover a lot more cases than the existing probe
   support. This will help applications get a better idea of what
   operations are supported on a given host.

 - zcrx improvements from Pavel:
        - Improve refill entry alignment for better caching
        - Various cleanups, especially around deduplicating normal
          memory vs dmabuf setup.
        - Generalisation of the niov size (Patch 12). It's still hard
          coded to PAGE_SIZE on init, but will let the user to specify
          the rx buffer length on setup.
        - Syscall / synchronous bufer return. It'll be used as a slow
          fallback path for returning buffers when the refill queue is
          full. Useful for tolerating slight queue size misconfiguration
          or with inconsistent load.
        - Accounting more memory to cgroups.
        - Additional independent cleanups that will also be useful for
          mutli-area support.

When running task_work for an exiting task, rather than perform the

confusing and surprising to an application.

Rather than just check the task exit state, also include the ring
ref state in deciding whether or not to terminate a given request when
run from task_work.
