We currently have a race where we recycle the selected buffer if poll
returns IO_APOLL_OK. But that's too late, as the poll could already be
triggering or have triggered. If that race happens, then we're putting a
buffer that's already being used.

Fix this by recycling before we arm poll. This does mean that we'll
sometimes almost instantly re-select the buffer, but it's rare enough in
testing that it should not pose a performance issue.

The fix for not advancing the iterator if we're using fixed buffers is
broken in that it can hit a condition where we don't terminate the loop.
This results in io-wq looping forever, asking to read (or write) 0 bytes

Looks like a victim of too much copy/paste, we should not be looking

Workloads using provided buffers benefit from using and returning buffers
in the right order, and so does TLBs for that matter. Manage the internal
buffer list in a straight list, rather than use the head buffer as the
insertion node. Use a hashed list for the buffer group IDs instead of
xarray, the overhead is much lower this way. xarray provides internal
locking and other trickery that is handy for some uses cases, but
io_uring already locks internally for the buffer manipulation and needs
none of that.

This is good for about a 2% reduction in overhead, combination of the
improved management and the fact that the workload has an easier time
bundling back provided buffers.

With commit "io_uring: cache req->apoll->events in req->cflags" applied,
we now have just io_poll_remove_entries() dipping into req->apoll when
it isn't strictly necessary.

Mark poll and double-poll with a flag, so we know if we need to look
at apoll->double_poll. This avoids pulling in those cachelines if we
don't need them. The common case is that the poll wake handler already
removed these entries while hot off the completion path.

Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

When we arm poll on behalf of a different type of request, like a network
receive, then we allocate req->apoll as our poll entry. Running network
workloads shows io_poll_check_events() as the most expensive part of
io_uring, and it's all due to having to pull in req->apoll instead of
just the request which we have hot already.

Cache poll->events in req->cflags, which isn't used until the request
completes anyway. This isn't strictly needed for regular poll, where
req->poll.events is used and thus already hot, but for the sake of
unification we do it all around.

This saves 3-4% of overhead in certain request workloads.

Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

This serves two purposes:

- We now have the last cacheline mostly unused for generic workloads,
  instead of having to pull in the poll refs explicitly for workloads
  that rely on poll arming.

- It shrinks the io_kiocb from 232 to 224 bytes.

Make the tracing formatting for user_data and flags consistent.

Having consistent formatting allows one for example to grep for a specific

Change user_data to 0x%llx and flags to 0x%x everywhere. The '0x' is
useful to disambiguate for example "user_data 100".

Additionally remove the '=' for flags in io_uring_req_failed, again for consistency.

Particularly for networked workloads, io_uring intensively uses its
poll based backend to get a notification when data/space is available.
Profiling workloads, we see 3-4% of alloc+free that is directly attributed
to just the apoll allocation and free (and the rest being skb alloc+free).

For the fast path, we have ctx->uring_lock held already for both issue
and the inline completions, and we can utilize that to avoid any extra
locking needed to have a basic recycling cache for the apoll entries on
both the alloc and free side.

Double poll still requires an allocation. But those are rare and not
a fast path item.

With the simple cache in place, we see a 3-4% reduction in overhead for
the workload.

By default, io_uring will stop submitting a batch of requests if we run
into an error submitting a request. This isn't strictly necessary, as
the error result is passed out-of-band via a CQE anyway. And it can be
a bit confusing for some applications.

Provide a way to setup a ring that will continue submitting on error,
when the error CQE has been posted.

There's still one case that will break out of submission. If we fail
allocating a request, then we'll still return -ENOMEM. We could in theory
post a CQE for that condition too even if we never got a request. Leave
that for a potential followup.

The sqpoll thread can be used for performing the napi busy poll in a
similar way that it does io polling for file systems supporting direct
access bypassing the page cache.

The other way that io_uring can be used for napi busy poll is by
calling io_uring_enter() to get events.

If the user specify a timeout value, it is distributed between polling
and sleeping by using the systemwide setting
/proc/sys/net/core/busy_poll.

The changes have been tested with this program:

This adds support for IORING_OP_MSG_RING, which allows an SQE to signal
another ring. That allows either waking up someone waiting on the ring,
or even passing a 64-bit value via the user_data field in the CQE.

sqe->fd must contain the fd of a ring that should receive the CQE.
sqe->off will be propagated to the cqe->user_data on the target ring,
and sqe->len will be propagated to cqe->res. The results CQE will have
IORING_CQE_F_MSG set in its flags, to indicate that this CQE was generated
from a messaging request rather than a SQE issued locally on that ring.
This effectively allows passing a 64-bit and a 32-bit quantify between
the two rings.

This request type has the following request specific error cases:

- -EBADFD. Set if the sqe->fd doesn't point to a file descriptor that is
  of the io_uring type.
- -EOVERFLOW. Set if we were not able to deliver a request to the target
  ring.

In testing high frequency workloads with provided buffers, we spend a
lot of time in allocating and freeing the buffer units themselves.
Rather than repeatedly free and alloc them, add a recycling cache
instead. There are two caches:

- ctx->io_buffers_cache. This is the one we grab from in the submission
  path, and it's protected by ctx->uring_lock. For inline completions,
  we can recycle straight back to this cache and not need any extra
  locking.

- ctx->io_buffers_comp. If we're not under uring_lock, then we use this
  list to recycle buffers. It's protected by the completion_lock.

On adding a new buffer, check io_buffers_cache. If it's empty, check if
we can splice entries from the io_buffers_comp_cache.

This reduces about 5-10% of overhead from provided buffers, bringing it
pretty close to the non-provided path.

Lots of workloads use multiple threads, in which case the file table is
shared between them. This makes getting and putting the ring file
descriptor for each io_uring_enter(2) system call more expensive, as it
involves an atomic get and put for each call.

Similarly to how we allow registering normal file descriptors to avoid
this overhead, add support for an io_uring_register(2) API that allows
to register the ring fds themselves:

1) IORING_REGISTER_RING_FDS - takes an array of io_uring_rsrc_update
   structs, and registers them with the task.
2) IORING_UNREGISTER_RING_FDS - takes an array of io_uring_src_update
   structs, and unregisters them.

When a ring fd is registered, it is internally represented by an offset.
This offset is returned to the application, and the application then
uses this offset and sets IORING_ENTER_REGISTERED_RING for the
io_uring_enter(2) system call. This works just like using a registered
file descriptor, rather than a real one, in an SQE, where
IOSQE_FIXED_FILE gets set to tell io_uring that we're using an internal
offset/descriptor rather than a real file descriptor.

In initial testing, this provides a nice bump in performance for
threaded applications in real world cases where the batch count (eg
number of requests submitted per io_uring_enter(2) invocation) is low.
In a microbenchmark, submitting NOP requests, we see the following
increases in performance:

Requests per syscall	Baseline	Registered	Increase
----------------------------------------------------------------
1			 ~7030K		 ~8080K		+15%
2			~13120K		~14800K		+13%
4			~22740K		~25300K		+11%

wqe->lock is abused, it now protects acct->work_list, hash stuff,
nr_workers, wqe->free_list and so on. Lets first get the work_list out
of the wqe-lock mess by introduce a specific lock for work list. This
is the first step to solve the huge contension between work insertion
and work consumption.
good thing:
  - split locking for bound and unbound work list
  - reduce contension between work_list visit and (worker's)free_list.

For the hash stuff, since there won't be a work with same file in both
bound and unbound work list, thus they won't visit same hash entry. it
works well to use the new lock to protect hash stuff.

Just return 0 directly and reduce the scope of ret to the if statement,
as that is the only place that it is used, which is how the function was
before the fixes commit.

None of the opcodes in io_uring_register use ring quiesce anymore. Hence
io_register_op_must_quiesce always returns false and io_ctx_quiesce is
never called.

IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED prevents submitting requests and so there will be
no requests until IORING_REGISTER_ENABLE_RINGS is called. And
IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS works only before
IORING_REGISTER_ENABLE_RINGS is called. Hence ring quiesce is not needed
for these opcodes.
