This reverts commit 6f11adcc6f36ffd8f33dbdf5f5ce073368975bc3.

The problematic commit was fixed in mainline, so the work-around in
io_uring can be removed at this point. Anonymous inodes no longer
pretend to be regular files after:

<title>io_uring: gate REQ_F_ISREG on !S_ANON_INODE as well</title>

io_uring marks a request as dealing with a regular file on S_ISREG. This
drives things like retries on short reads or writes, which is generally
not expected on a regular file (or bdev). Applications tend to not
expect that, so io_uring tries hard to ensure it doesn't deliver short
IO on regular files.

However, a recent commit added S_IFREG to anonymous inodes. When
io_uring is used to read from various things that are backed by anon
inodes, like eventfd, timerfd, etc, then it'll now all of a sudden wait
for more data when rather than deliver what was read or written in a
single operation. This breaks applications that issue reads on anon
inodes, if they ask for more data than a single read delivers.

Add a check for !S_ANON_INODE as well before setting REQ_F_ISREG to
prevent that.

In preparation for needing to shift NVMe passthrough to always use
task_work for polled IO completions, ensure that those are suitably
run at exit time. See commit:

9ce6c9875f3e ("nvme: always punt polled uring_cmd end_io work to task_work")

for details on why that is necessary.

<title>io_uring: consistently use rcu semantics with sqpoll thread</title>

<content type='text'>
The sqpoll thread is dereferenced with rcu read protection in one place,
so it needs to be annotated as an __rcu type, and should consistently
use rcu helpers for access and assignment to make sparse happy.

Since most of the accesses occur under the sqd-&gt;lock, we can use
rcu_dereference_protected() without declaring an rcu read section.
Provide a simple helper to get the thread from a locked context.

<title>io_uring/futex: mark wait requests as inflight</title>

Inflight marking is used so that do_exit() -&gt; io_uring_files_cancel()
will find requests with files that reference an io_uring instance,
so they can get appropriately canceled before the files go away.
However, it's also called before the mm goes away.

Mark futex/futexv wait requests as being inflight, so that
io_uring_files_cancel() will prune them. This ensures that the mm stays
alive, which is important as an exiting mm will also free the futex
private hash buckets. An io_uring futex request with FUTEX2_PRIVATE
set relies on those being alive until the request has completed. A
recent commit added these futex private hashes, which get killed when
the mm goes away.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Avoid indirect function calls in io-wq for executing and freeing
   work.

   The design of io-wq is such that it can be a generic mechanism, but
   as it's just used by io_uring now, may as well avoid these indirect
   calls

 - Clean up registered buffers for networking

 - Add support for IORING_OP_PIPE. Pretty straight forward, allows
   creating pipes with io_uring, particularly useful for having these be
   instantiated as direct descriptors

 - Clean up the coalescing support fore registered buffers

 - Add support for multiple interface queues for zero-copy rx
   networking. As this feature was merged for 6.15 it supported just a
   single ifq per ring

 - Clean up the eventfd support

 - Add dma-buf support to zero-copy rx

 - Clean up and improving the request draining support

 - Clean up provided buffer support, most notably with an eye toward
   making the legacy support less intrusive

 - Minor fdinfo cleanups, dropping support for dumping what credentials
   are registered

 - Improve support for overflow CQE handling, getting rid of GFP_ATOMIC
   for allocating overflow entries where possible

 - Improve detection of cases where io-wq doesn't need to spawn a new
   worker unnecessarily

 - Various little cleanups

* tag 'for-6.16/io_uring-20250523' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux: (59 commits)
  io_uring/cmd: warn on reg buf imports by ineligible cmds

IOU_COMPLETE is more descriptive, in that it explicitly says that the
return value means "please post a completion for this request". This
patch completes the transition from IOU_OK to IOU_COMPLETE, replacing
existing IOU_OK users.

This is a purely mechanical change.

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().

<title>io_uring: add new helpers for posting overflows</title>

Add two helpers, one for posting overflows for lockless_cq rings, and
one for non-lockless_cq rings. The former can allocate sanely with
GFP_KERNEL, but needs to grab the completion lock for posting, while the
latter must do non-sleeping allocs as it already holds the completion
lock.

While at it, mark the overflow handling functions as __cold as well, as
they should not generally be called during normal operations of the
ring.
