The previous patch has ensured that io_cqring_events contain
smp_rmb memory barriers, Now we can use wait_event_interruptible
to keep the code simple.

The test case we have is rightfully failing with the current kernel:

io_uring_setup(1, 0x7ffe2cafebe0), flags: IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL|IORING_SETUP_SQ_AFF, resv: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000, sq_thread_cpu: 4
expected -1, got 3

This is in a vm, and CPU3 is the last valid one, hence asking for 4
should fail the setup with -EINVAL, not succeed. The problem is that
we're using array_index_nospec() with nr_cpu_ids as the index, hence we
wrap and end up using CPU0 instead of CPU4. This makes the setup
succeed where it should be failing.

We don't need to use array_index_nospec() as we're not indexing any
array with this. Instead just compare with nr_cpu_ids directly. This
is fine as we're checking with cpu_online() afterwards.

<title>mm/gup: replace get_user_pages_longterm() with FOLL_LONGTERM</title>

<id>932f4a630a695212bdc7379b05f9bd0dafc5d968</id>
<content type='text'>
Pach series "Add FOLL_LONGTERM to GUP fast and use it".

HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to its performance
advantages.  These pages can be held for a significant time.  But
get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping FS DAX pages.

Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which
retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks.  XDP has also
shown interest in using this functionality.[1]

In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag
and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call.

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/19/939

"longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer.
This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and
can't move.  I've thought of a couple of alternative names but I think we
have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or something else to
solve the "longterm" problem.  Then I think we can change the flag to a
better name.

Secondly, it depends on how often you are registering memory.  I have
spoken with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path...
For the overall application performance.  I don't have the numbers as the
tests for HFI1 were done a long time ago.  But there was a significant
advantage.  Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have
to hold mmap_sem.

Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use
*_fast.  There are patches submitted to the RDMA list which would allow
the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they
are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well.  Also
to this point others are looking to use *_fast.

As an aside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and
*_unlocked look very much the same.  I agree and I think further cleanup
will be coming.  But I'm focused on getting the final solution for DAX at
the moment.

This patch (of 7):

This patch starts a series which aims to support FOLL_LONGTERM in
get_user_pages_fast().  Some callers who would like to do a longterm (user
controlled pin) of pages with the fast variant of GUP for performance
purposes.

Rather than have a separate get_user_pages_longterm() call, introduce
FOLL_LONGTERM and change the longterm callers to use it.

This patch does not change any functionality.  In the short term
"longterm" or user controlled pins are unsafe for Filesystems and FS DAX
in particular has been blocked.  However, callers of get_user_pages_fast()
were not "protected".

FOLL_LONGTERM can _only_ be supported with get_user_pages[_fast]() as it
requires vmas to determine if DAX is in use.

NOTE: In merging with the CMA changes we opt to change the
get_user_pages() call in check_and_migrate_cma_pages() to a call of
__get_user_pages_locked() on the newly migrated pages.  This makes the
code read better in that we are calling __get_user_pages_locked() on the
pages before and after a potential migration.

As a side affect some of the interfaces are cleaned up but this is not the
primary purpose of the series.

In review[1] it was asked:

&lt;quote&gt;
&gt; This I don't get - if you do lock down long term mappings performance
&gt; of the actual get_user_pages call shouldn't matter to start with.
&gt;
&gt; What do I miss?

A couple of points.

First "longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a
misnomer.  This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to
hardware and can't move.  I've thought of a couple of alternative names
but I think we have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or
something else to solve the "longterm" problem.  Then I think we can
change the flag to a better name.

Second, It depends on how often you are registering memory.  I have spoken
with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path...  For the
overall application performance.  I don't have the numbers as the tests
for HFI1 were done a long time ago.  But there was a significant
advantage.  Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have
to hold mmap_sem.

Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use
*_fast.  There are patches submitted to the RDMA list which would allow
the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they
are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well.  Also
to this point others are looking to use *_fast.

As an asside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and
*_unlocked look very much the same.  I agree and I think further cleanup

Pach series "Add FOLL_LONGTERM to GUP fast and use it".

HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to its performance
advantages.  These pages can be held for a significant time.  But
get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping FS DAX pages.

Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which
retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks.  XDP has also
shown interest in using this functionality.[1]

In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag
and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call.

<title>io_uring: fix race condition reading SQE data</title>

When punting to workers the SQE gets copied after the initial try.
There is a race condition between reading SQE data for the initial try
and copying it for punting it to the workers.

For example io_rw_done calls kiocb-&gt;ki_complete even if it was prepared
for IORING_OP_FSYNC (and would be NULL).

The easiest solution for now is to alway prepare again in the worker.

req-&gt;file is safe to prepare though as long as it is checked before use.

<title>io_uring: use cpu_online() to check p-&gt;sq_thread_cpu instead of cpu_possible()</title>

This issue is found by running liburing/test/io_uring_setup test.

When test run, the testcase "attempt to bind to invalid cpu" would not
pass with messages like:
   io_uring_setup(1, 0xbfc2f7c8), \
flags: IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL|IORING_SETUP_SQ_AFF, \
resv: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000, \
sq_thread_cpu: 2
   expected -1, got 3
   FAIL

On my system, there is:
   CPU(s) possible : 0-3
   CPU(s) online   : 0-1
   CPU(s) offline  : 2-3
   CPU(s) present  : 0-1

The sq_thread_cpu 2 is offline on my system, so the bind should fail.
But cpu_possible() will pass the check. We shouldn't be able to bind
to an offline cpu. Use cpu_online() to do the check.

After the change, the testcase run as expected: EINVAL will be returned
for cpu offlined.

<title>io_uring: fix shadowed variable ret return code being not checked</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently variable ret is declared in a while-loop code block that
shadows another variable ret. When an error occurs in the while-loop
the error return in ret is not being set in the outer code block and
so the error check on ret is always going to be checking on the wrong
ret variable resulting in check that is always going to be true and
a premature return occurs.

Fix this by removing the declaration of the inner while-loop variable
ret so that shadowing does not occur.
