Series [01/19] fs: add an iopoll method to struct file_operations | expand

Commit Message

We normally have to fget/fput for each IO we do on a file. Even with
the batching we do, the cost of the atomic inc/dec of the file usage
count adds up.

This adds IORING_REGISTER_FILES, and IORING_UNREGISTER_FILES opcodes
for the io_uring_register(2) system call. The arguments passed in must
be an array of __s32 holding file descriptors, and nr_args should hold
the number of file descriptors the application wishes to pin for the
duration of the io_uring instance (or until IORING_UNREGISTER_FILES is
called).

When used, the application must set IOSQE_FIXED_FILE in the sqe->flags
member. Then, instead of setting sqe->fd to the real fd, it sets sqe->fd
to the index in the array passed in to IORING_REGISTER_FILES.

Files are automatically unregistered when the io_uring instance is torn
down. An application need only unregister if it wishes to register a new
set of fds.

I think the overall concept here is still broken: You're giving the
user_files to the GC, and I think the GC can drop their refcounts, but
I don't see you actually getting feedback from the GC anywhere that
would let the GC break your references? E.g. in io_prep_rw() you grab
file pointers from ctx->user_files after simply checking
ctx->nr_user_files, and there is no path from the GC that touches
those fields. As far as I can tell, the GC is just going to go through
unix_destruct_scm() and drop references on your files, causing
use-after-free.

But the unix GC is complicated, and maybe I'm just missing something...

This pattern is almost always superfluous. You increment the file's
refcount, maybe insert the file into a list (essentially), and drop
the file's refcount back down. You're already holding a stable
reference, and you're not temporarily lending that to anyone else.

Only when the skb is released, which is either done when the io_uring
is torn down (and then definitely safe), or if the socket is released,
which is again also at a safe time.

Actually, this is me messing up. The fput() should be done AFTER
adding to the socket. I'll fix that.
