Martin MichaelisandJens Axboe 7deba791ad io_uring/kbuf: support min length left for incremental buffers
Incrementally consumed buffer rings are generally fully consumed, but
it's quite possible that the application has a minimum size it needs to
meet to avoid truncation. Currently that minimum limit is 1 byte, but
this should be a setting that is the hands of the application. For
recvmsg multishot, a prime use case for incrementally consumed buffers,
the application may get spurious -EFAULT returned at the end of an
incrementally consumed buffer, as less space is available than the
headers need.

Grab a u32 field in struct io_uring_buf_reg, which the application can
use to inform the kernel of the minimum size that should be available
in an incrementally consumed buffer. If less than that is available,
the current buffer is fully processed and the next one will be picked.

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

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

Jens Axboe 418eab7a6f io_uring/kbuf: propagate BUF_MORE through early buffer commit path
When io_should_commit() returns true (eg for non-pollable files), buffer
commit happens at buffer selection time and sel->buf_list is set to
NULL. When __io_put_kbufs() generates CQE flags at completion time, it
calls __io_put_kbuf_ring() which finds a NULL buffer_list and hence
cannot determine whether the buffer was consumed or not. This means that
IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE is never set for non-pollable input with
incrementally consumed buffers.

Likewise for io_buffers_select(), which always commits upfront and
discards the return value of io_kbuf_commit().

Add REQ_F_BUF_MORE to store the result of io_kbuf_commit() during early
commit. Then __io_put_kbuf_ring() can check this flag and set
IORING_F_BUF_MORE accordingy.

Jens Axboe 3ecd3e0314 io_uring/kbuf: fix missing BUF_MORE for incremental buffers at EOF
For a zero length transfer, io_kbuf_inc_commit() is called with !len.
Since we never enter the while loop to consume the buffers,
io_kbuf_inc_commit() ends up returning true, consuming the buffer. But
if no data was consumed, by definition it cannot have consumed the
buffer. Return false for that case.

Jens Axboe c2c185be5c io_uring/kbuf: check if target buffer list is still legacy on recycle
There's a gap between when the buffer was grabbed and when it
potentially gets recycled, where if the list is empty, someone could've
upgraded it to a ring provided type. This can happen if the request
is forced via io-wq. The legacy recycling is missing checking if the
buffer_list still exists, and if it's of the correct type. Add those
checks.

Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

io_register_pbuf_ring() ignores the return value of io_buffer_add_list(),

Commit 620a50c927 ("io_uring: uring_cmd: add multishot support") added
multishot uring_cmd support with explicit buffer upfront commit via
io_uring_mshot_cmd_post_cqe(). However, the buffer selection path in
io_ring_buffer_select() was auto-committing buffers for non-pollable files,
which conflicts with uring_cmd's explicit upfront commit model.

This way consumes the whole selected buffer immediately, and causes
failure on the following buffer selection.

Fix this by checking uring_cmd to identify operations that handle buffer
commit explicitly, and skip auto-commit for these operations.

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.

Jens Axboe 98b6fa62c8 io_uring/kbuf: always use READ_ONCE() to read ring provided buffer lengths
Since the buffers are mapped from userspace, it is prudent to use
READ_ONCE() to read the value into a local variable, and use that for
any other actions taken. Having a stable read of the buffer length
avoids worrying about it changing after checking, or being read multiple
times.

Similarly, the buffer may well change in between it being picked and
being committed. Ensure the looping for incremental ring buffer commit
stops if it hits a zero sized buffer, as no further progress can be made
at that point.

1) Classic/legacy buffer list. These don't need to get referenced after
   a buffer pick, and hence storing them in struct io_kiocb is perfectly
   fine.

2) Ring provided buffer lists. These DO need to be referenced after the
   initial buffer pick, as they need to get consumed later on. This can
   be either just incrementing the head of the ring, or it can be
   consuming parts of a buffer if incremental buffer consumptions has
   been configured.

For case 2, io_uring needs to be careful not to access the buffer list
after the initial pick-and-execute context. The core does recycling of
these, but it's easy to make a mistake, because it's stored in the
io_kiocb which does persist across multiple execution contexts. Either
because it's a multishot request, or simply because it needed some kind
of async trigger (eg poll) for retry purposes.

Add a struct io_buffer_list to struct io_br_sel, which is always on
stack for the various users of it. This prevents the buffer list from
leaking outside of that execution context, and additionally it enables
kbuf to not even pass back the struct io_buffer_list if the given
context isn't appropriately locked already.

This doesn't fix any bugs, it's simply a defensive measure to prevent
any issues with reuse of a buffer list.
