   - Move the SQPOLL napi polling outside the submission lock (Olivier)

   - Rename of the "copy buffers" API that got added in the 6.12 merge
     window. There's really no copying going on, it's just referencing
     the buffers. After a bit of consideration, decided that it was
     better to simply rename this to avoid potential confusion (me)

   - Shrink struct io_mapped_ubuf from 48 to 32 bytes, by changing it to
     start + len tracking rather than having start / end in there, and
     by removing the caching of folio_mask when we can just calculate it
     from folio_shift when we need it (me)

   - Fixes for the SQPOLL affinity checking (me, Felix)

   - Fix for how cqring waiting checks for the presence of task_work.
     Just check it directly rather than check for a specific
     notification mechanism (me)

   - Tweak to how request linking is represented in tracing (me)

   - Fix a syzbot report that deliberately sets up a huge list of
     overflow entries, and then hits rcu stalls when flushing this list.
     Just check for the need to preempt, and drop/reacquire locks in the
     loop. There's no state maintained over the loop itself, and each

In terms of normal application usage, this list will always be empty.
And if an application does overflow a bit, it'll have a few entries.
However, nothing obviously prevents syzbot from running a test case
that generates a ton of overflow entries, and then flushing them can
take quite a while.

Check for needing to reschedule while flushing, and drop our locks and
do so if necessary. There's no state to maintain here as overflows
always prune from head-of-list, hence it's fine to drop and reacquire
the locks at the end of the loop.

Right now any link trace is listed as being linked after the head
request in the chain, but it's more useful to note explicitly which
request a given new request is chained to. Change the link trace to dump
the tail request so that chains are immediately apparent when looking at
traces.

<title>io_uring: check for presence of task_work rather than TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL</title>

If some part of the kernel adds task_work that needs executing, in terms
of signaling it'll generally use TWA_SIGNAL or TWA_RESUME. Those two
directly translate to TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL or TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and can
be used for a variety of use case outside of task_work.

However, io_cqring_wait_schedule() only tests explicitly for
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. This means it can miss if task_work got added for
the task, but used a different kind of signaling mechanism (or none at
all). Normally this doesn't matter as any task_work will be run once
the task exits to userspace, except if:

1) The ring is setup with DEFER_TASKRUN
2) The local work item may generate normal task_work

For condition 2, this can happen when closing a file and it's the final
put of that file, for example. This can cause stalls where a task is
waiting to make progress inside io_cqring_wait(), but there's nothing else
that will wake it up. Hence change the "should we schedule or loop around"
check to check for the presence of task_work explicitly, rather than just
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL as the mechanism. While in there, also change the
ordering of what type of task_work first in terms of ordering, to both
make it consistent with other task_work runs in io_uring, but also to
better handle the case of defer task_work generating normal task_work,
like in the above example.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
 "This time it's mostly refactoring and improving APIs for slab users in
  the kernel, along with some debugging improvements.

   - kmem_cache_create() refactoring (Christian Brauner)

     Over the years have been growing new parameters to
     kmem_cache_create() where most of them are needed only for a small
     number of caches - most recently the rcu_freeptr_offset parameter.

     To avoid adding new parameters to kmem_cache_create() and adjusting
     all its callers, or creating new wrappers such as
     kmem_cache_create_rcu(), we can now pass extra parameters using the
     new struct kmem_cache_args. Not explicitly initialized fields
     default to values interpreted as unused.

     kmem_cache_create() is for now a wrapper that works both with the
     new form: kmem_cache_create(name, object_size, args, flags) and the
     legacy form: kmem_cache_create(name, object_size, align, flags,
     ctor)

   - kmem_cache_destroy() waits for kfree_rcu()'s in flight (Vlastimil
     Babka, Uladislau Rezki)

     Since SLOB removal, kfree() is allowed for freeing objects
     allocated by kmem_cache_create(). By extension kfree_rcu() as
     allowed as well, which can allow converting simple call_rcu()
     callbacks that only do kmem_cache_free(), as there was never a
     kmem_cache_free_rcu() variant. However, for caches that can be
     destroyed e.g. on module removal, the cache owners knew to issue
     rcu_barrier() first to wait for the pending call_rcu()'s, and this
     is not sufficient for pending kfree_rcu()'s due to its internal
     batching optimizations. Ulad has provided a new
     kvfree_rcu_barrier() and to make the usage less error-prone,
     kmem_cache_destroy() calls it. Additionally, destroying
     SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches now again issues rcu_barrier()
     synchronously instead of using an async work, because the past
     motivation for async work no longer applies. Users of custom
     call_rcu() callbacks should however keep calling rcu_barrier()
     before cache destruction.

   - Debugging use-after-free in SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches (Jann Horn)

     Currently, KASAN cannot catch UAFs in such caches as it is legal to
     access them within a grace period, and we only track the grace
     period when trying to free the underlying slab page. The new
     CONFIG_SLUB_RCU_DEBUG option changes the freeing of individual
     object to be RCU-delayed, after which KASAN can poison them.

   - Delayed memcg charging (Shakeel Butt)

     In some cases, the memcg is uknown at allocation time, such as
     receiving network packets in softirq context. With
     kmem_cache_charge() these may be now charged later when the user
     and its memcg is known.

   - Misc fixes and improvements (Pedro Falcato, Axel Rasmussen,
     Christoph Lameter, Yan Zhen, Peng Fan, Xavier)"

<title>io_uring/cmd: expose iowq to cmds</title>

When an io_uring request needs blocking context we offload it to the
io_uring's thread pool called io-wq. We can get there off -&gt;uring_cmd
by returning -EAGAIN, but there is no straightforward way of doing that
from an asynchronous callback. Add a helper that would transfer a
command to a blocking context.

Note, we do an extra hop via task_work before io_queue_iowq(), that's a
limitation of io_uring infra we have that can likely be lifted later
if that would ever become a problem.

In preparation for needing the consumed length, pass in the length being
completed. Unused right now, but will be used when it is possible to
partially consume a buffer.
