[ Upstream commit a7d755ed9ce9738af3db602eb29d32774a180bc7 ]

Leaving the CQ critical section in the middle of a overflow flushing
can cause cqe reordering since the cache cq pointers are reset and any
new cqe emitters that might get called in between are not going to be
forced into io_cqe_cache_refill().

[ Upstream commit 92a3bac9a57c39728226ab191859c85f5e2829c0 ]

Do all struct io_uring_params validation early on before allocating the
context. That makes initialisation easier, especially by having fewer
places where we need to care about partial de-initialisation.

Commit b53e523261bf058ea4a518b482222e7a277b186b upstream.

There are a few spots where linked timeouts are armed, and not all of
them adhere to the pre-arm, attempt issue, post-arm pattern. This can
be problematic if the linked request returns that it will trigger a
callback later, and does so before the linked timeout is fully armed.

Consolidate all the linked timeout handling into __io_issue_sqe(),
rather than have it spread throughout the various issue entry points.

<title>io_uring: ensure deferred completions are flushed for multishot</title>

commit 687b2bae0efff9b25e071737d6af5004e6e35af5 upstream.

Multishot normally uses io_req_post_cqe() to post completions, but when
stopping it, it may finish up with a deferred completion. This is fine,
except if another multishot event triggers before the deferred completions
get flushed. If this occurs, then CQEs may get reordered in the CQ ring,
as new multishot completions get posted before the deferred ones are
flushed. This can cause confusion on the application side, if strict
ordering is required for the use case.

When multishot posting via io_req_post_cqe(), flush any pending deferred
completions first, if any.

[ Upstream commit 390513642ee6763c7ada07f0a1470474986e6c1c ]

io_uring always switches requests to atomic refcounting for iowq
execution before there is any parallilism by setting REQ_F_REFCOUNT,
and the flag is not cleared until the request completes. That should be
fine as long as the compiler doesn't make up a non existing value for
the flags, however KCSAN still complains when the request owner changes
oter flag bits:

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in io_req_task_cancel / io_wq_free_work
...
read to 0xffff888117207448 of 8 bytes by task 3871 on cpu 0:
 req_ref_put_and_test io_uring/refs.h:22 [inline]

Skip REQ_F_REFCOUNT checks for iowq, we know it's set.

commit edd43f4d6f50ec3de55a0c9e9df6348d1da51965 upstream.

A previous commit added a 'sync' parameter to io_fallback_tw(), which if
true, means the caller wants to wait on the fallback thread handling it.
But the logic is somewhat messed up, ensure that ctxs are swapped and
flushed appropriately.

As the comment states, io_req_post_cqe() should only be used by
multishot requests, i.e. REQ_F_APOLL_MULTISHOT, which bundled sends are
not. Add a flag signifying whether a request wants to post multiple
CQEs. Eventually REQ_F_APOLL_MULTISHOT should imply the new flag, but
that's left out for simplicity.

As the comment states, io_req_post_cqe() should only be used by
multishot requests, i.e. REQ_F_APOLL_MULTISHOT, which bundled sends are
not. Add a flag signifying whether a request wants to post multiple
CQEs. Eventually REQ_F_APOLL_MULTISHOT should imply the new flag, but
that's left out for simplicity.

[ Upstream commit 3f0cb8de56b9a5c052a9e43fa548856926059810 ]

io_req_complete_post() doesn't handle reissue and if called with a
REQ_F_REISSUE request it might post extra unexpected completions. Fix it
by pushing into flush_completion via task work.
