<title>fs/aio: Check IOCB_AIO_RW before the struct aio_kiocb conversion</title>

The first kiocb_set_cancel_fn() argument may point at a struct kiocb
that is not embedded inside struct aio_kiocb. With the current code,
depending on the compiler, the req-&gt;ki_ctx read happens either before
the IOCB_AIO_RW test or after that test. Move the req-&gt;ki_ctx read such
that it is guaranteed that the IOCB_AIO_RW test happens first.

<title>Revert "fs/aio: Make io_cancel() generate completions again"</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch "fs/aio: Make io_cancel() generate completions again" is based on the
assumption that calling kiocb-&gt;ki_cancel() does not complete R/W requests.
This is incorrect: the two drivers that call kiocb_set_cancel_fn() callers
set a cancellation function that calls usb_ep_dequeue(). According to its
documentation, usb_ep_dequeue() calls the completion routine with status
-ECONNRESET. Hence this revert.

<content type='text'>
The following patch accidentally removed the code for delivering
completions for cancelled reads and writes to user space: "[PATCH 04/33]
aio: remove retry-based AIO"
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/1363883754-27966-5-git-send-email-koverstreet@google.com/)
&gt;From that patch:

-	if (kiocbIsCancelled(iocb)) {
-		ret = -EINTR;
-		aio_complete(iocb, ret, 0);
-		/* must not access the iocb after this */
-		goto out;
-	}

This leads to a leak in user space of a struct iocb. Hence this patch
that restores the code that reports to user space that a read or write
has been cancelled successfully.

If kiocb_set_cancel_fn() is called for I/O submitted via io_uring, the
following kernel warning appears:

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
  size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
  sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
  has been doing all this work.

  In the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
  support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to
  remove the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/
  directory only.

  The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as
  those patches are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect
  also the removal of the no longer needed check for procname == NULL.

  Let us recap the purpose of this work:

   - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
     time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array

   - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
     sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files

  Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to
  see further work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the
  struct ctl_table.

  Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have
  suggested for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for
  v6.9-rc1 I look forward to seeing him sent you a pull request for
  further sysctl changes. This also removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer
  as he has moved on to other projects and has had no time to help at
  all"

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.

With the removal of the 'iov' argument to import_single_range(), the two
functions are now fully identical. Convert the import_single_range()
callers to import_ubuf(), and remove the former fully.

It is entirely unused, just get rid of it.

<title>fs/aio: obey min_nr when doing wakeups</title>

I've been observing workloads where IPIs due to wakeups in
aio_complete() are ~15% of total CPU time in the profile. Most of those
wakeups are unnecessary when completion batching is in use in
io_getevents().

This plumbs min_nr through via the wait eventry, so that aio_complete()
can avoid doing unnecessary wakeups.
