Have you seen: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgGV61xrG=gO0=dXH64o2TDWWrXn1mx-CX885JZ7h84Og@mail.gmail.com/ ? I wasn't aware that Linus felt this way, now I wonder if having sockptr_t spread will raise any red flags as this code flows back to him.

I can change the io_uring API in a way that we can avoid these sockptr_t changes completely. My plan is to mimic what getsockopt(2) is doing in io_uring cmd path, in regard to optlen being an userpointer, instead of a value - which is then translated to a KERNEL_SOCKPTR. In this way, this change don't need to touch any sockptr field. Thanks for the heads-up

I've been thinking about it for a while and I'd like to hear what are the next steps here. Let me first back up and state where we are, and what is the current situation: 1) __sys_getsockopt() uses __user pointers for both optval and optlen 2) For io_uring command, Jens[1] suggested we get optlen from the io_uring sqe, which is a kernel pointer/value. Thus, we need to make the common code (callbacks) able to handle __user and kernel pointers (for optlen, at least). From a proto_ops callback perspective, ->setsockopt() uses sockptr. int (*setsockopt)(struct socket *sock, int level, int optname, sockptr_t optval, unsigned int optlen); Getsockopt() uses sockptr() for level=SOL_SOCKET: int sk_getsockopt(struct sock *sk, int level, int optname, sockptr_t optval, sockptr_t optlen) But not for the other levels: int (*getsockopt)(struct socket *sock, int level, int optname, char __user *optval, int __user *optlen); That said, if this patchset shouldn't use sockptr anymore, what is the recommendation? If we move this patchset to use iov_iter instead of sockptr, then I understand we want to move *all* these callbacks to use iov_vec. Is this the right direction? Thanks for the guidance!

Is the only issue right now the optlen kernel pointer?

Correct. The current discussion is only related to optlen in the getsockopt() callbacks (invoked when level != SOL_SOCKET). Everything else (getsockopt(level=SOL_SOCKET..) and setsockopt) is using sockptr. Is it bad if we review/merge this code as is (using sockptr), and start the iov_iter/getsockopt() refactor in a follow-up thread? Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, I only looked at the code now :S Agreed, that there's no need to worry about the sockptr spread in this series. It looks good to go in.
