We have IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS, but the only way to remove buffers
is to trigger IO on them. The usual case of shrinking a buffer pool
would be to just not replenish the buffers when IO completes, and
instead just free it. But it may be nice to have a way to manually
remove a number of buffers from a given group, and
IORING_OP_REMOVE_BUFFERS provides that functionality.

If a server process has tons of pending socket connections, generally
it uses epoll to wait for activity. When the socket is ready for reading
(or writing), the task can select a buffer and issue a recv/send on the
given fd.
Now that we have fast (non-async thread) support, a task can have tons
of pending reads or writes pending. But that means they need buffers to
back that data, and if the number of connections is high enough, having
them preallocated for all possible connections is unfeasible.
With IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS, an application can register buffers to
use for any request. The request then sets IOSQE_BUFFER_SELECT in the
sqe, and a given group ID in sqe->buf_group. When the fd becomes ready,
a free buffer from the specified group is selected. If none are
available, the request is terminated with -ENOBUFS. If successful, the
CQE on completion will contain the buffer ID chosen in the cqe->flags
member, encoded as:
(buffer_id << IORING_CQE_BUFFER_SHIFT) | IORING_CQE_F_BUFFER;
Once a buffer has been consumed by a request, it is no longer available
and must be registered again with IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS.
Requests need to support this feature. For now, IORING_OP_READ and
IORING_OP_RECV support it. This is checked on SQE submission, a CQE with
res == -EOPNOTSUPP will be posted if attempted on unsupported requests.

IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS uses the buffer registration infrastructure to
support passing in an addr/len that is associated with a buffer ID and
buffer group ID. The group ID is used to index and lookup the buffers,
while the buffer ID can be used to notify the application which buffer
in the group was used. The addr passed in is the starting buffer address,
and length is each buffer length. A number of buffers to add with can be
specified, in which case addr is incremented by length for each addition,
and each buffer increments the buffer ID specified.
No validation is done of the buffer ID. If the application provides
buffers within the same group with identical buffer IDs, then it'll have
a hard time telling which buffer ID was used. The only restriction is
that the buffer ID can be a max of 16-bits in size, so USHRT_MAX is the
maximum ID that can be used.

Currently io_uring tries any request in a non-blocking manner, if it can,
and then retries from a worker thread if we get -EAGAIN. Now that we have
a new and fancy poll based retry backend, use that to retry requests if
the file supports it.
This means that, for example, an IORING_OP_RECVMSG on a socket no longer
requires an async thread to complete the IO. If we get -EAGAIN reading
from the socket in a non-blocking manner, we arm a poll handler for
notification on when the socket becomes readable. When it does, the
pending read is executed directly by the task again, through the io_uring
task work handlers. Not only is this faster and more efficient, it also
means we're not generating potentially tons of async threads that just
sit and block, waiting for the IO to complete.
The feature is marked with IORING_FEAT_FAST_POLL, meaning that async
pollable IO is fast, and that poll<link>other_op is fast as well.

Add support for splice(2).
- output file is specified as sqe->fd, so it's handled by generic code
- hash_reg_file handled by generic code as well
- len is 32bit, but should be fine
- the fd_in is registered file, when SPLICE_F_FD_IN_FIXED is set, which
is a splice flag (i.e. sqe->splice_flags).

If IORING_SETUP_ATTACH_WQ is set, it expects wq_fd in io_uring_params to
be a valid io_uring fd io-wq of which will be shared with the newly
created io_uring instance. If the flag is set but it can't share io-wq,
it fails.
This allows creation of "sibling" io_urings, where we prefer to keep the
SQ/CQ private, but want to share the async backend to minimize the amount
of overhead associated with having multiple rings that belong to the same
backend.

We currently setup the io_wq with a static set of mm and creds. Even for
a single-use io-wq per io_uring, this is suboptimal as we have may have
multiple enters of the ring. For sharing the io-wq backend, it doesn't
work at all.
Switch to passing in the creds and mm when the work item is setup. This
means that async work is no longer deferred to the io_uring mm and creds,
it is done with the current mm and creds.
Flag this behavior with IORING_FEAT_CUR_PERSONALITY, so applications know
they can rely on the current personality (mm and creds) being the same
for direct issue and async issue.

For each IOSQE_* flag there is a corresponding REQ_F_* flag. And there
is a repetitive pattern of their translation:
e.g. if (sqe->flags & SQE_FLAG*) req->flags |= REQ_F_FLAG*

The application currently has no way of knowing if a given opcode is
supported or not without having to try and issue one and see if we get
-EINVAL or not. And even this approach is fraught with peril, as maybe
we're getting -EINVAL due to some fields being missing, or maybe it's
just not that easy to issue that particular command without doing some
other leg work in terms of setup first.
This adds IORING_REGISTER_PROBE, which fills in a structure with info
on what it supported or not. This will work even with sparse opcode
fields, which may happen in the future or even today if someone
backports specific features to older kernels.

If an application is using eventfd notifications with poll to know when
new SQEs can be issued, it's expecting the following read/writes to
complete inline. And with that, it knows that there are events available,
and don't want spurious wakeups on the eventfd for those requests.
This adds IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD_ASYNC, which works just like
IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD, except it only triggers notifications for events
that happen from async completions (IRQ, or io-wq worker completions).
Any completions inline from the submission itself will not trigger
notifications.

Some applications like to start small in terms of ring size, and then
ramp up as needed. This is a bit tricky to do currently, since we don't
advertise the max ring size.
This adds IORING_SETUP_CLAMP. If set, and the values for SQ or CQ ring
size exceed what we support, then clamp them at the max values instead
of returning -EINVAL. Since we return the chosen ring sizes after setup,
no further changes are needed on the application side. io_uring already
changes the ring sizes if the application doesn't ask for power-of-two
sizes, for example.

This behaves like preadv2/pwritev2 with offset == -1, it'll use (and
update) the current file position. This obviously comes with the caveat
that if the application has multiple read/writes in flight, then the
end result will not be as expected. This is similar to threads sharing
a file descriptor and doing IO using the current file position.
Since this feature isn't easily detectable by doing a read or write,
add a feature flags, IORING_FEAT_RW_CUR_POS, to allow applications to
detect presence of this feature.

For uses cases that don't already naturally have an iovec, it's easier
(or more convenient) to just use a buffer address + length. This is
particular true if the use case is from languages that want to create
a memory safe abstraction on top of io_uring, and where introducing
the need for the iovec may impose an ownership issue. For those cases,
they currently need an indirection buffer, which means allocating data
just for this purpose.
Add basic read/write that don't require the iovec.

io_uring defaults to always doing inline submissions, if at all
possible. But for larger copies, even if the data is fully cached, that
can take a long time. Add an IOSQE_ASYNC flag that the application can
set on the SQE - if set, it'll ensure that we always go async for those
kinds of requests. Use the io-wq IO_WQ_WORK_CONCURRENT flag to ensure we
get the concurrency we desire for this case.

We currently fully quiesce the ring before an unregister or update of
the fixed fileset. This is very expensive, and we can be a bit smarter
about this.
Add a percpu refcount for the file tables as a whole. Grab a percpu ref
when we use a registered file, and put it on completion. This is cheap
to do. Upon removal of a file from a set, switch the ref count to atomic
mode. When we hit zero ref on the completion side, then we know we can
drop the previously registered files. When the old files have been
dropped, switch the ref back to percpu mode for normal operation.
Since there's a period between doing the update and the kernel being
done with it, add a IORING_OP_FILES_UPDATE opcode that can perform the
same action. The application knows the update has completed when it gets
the CQE for it. Between doing the update and receiving this completion,
the application must continue to use the unregistered fd if submitting
IO on this particular file.
This takes the runtime of test/file-register from liburing from 14s to
about 0.7s.
