Unlike earlier versions, io_msg_remote_post() creates a valid request
with a proper context, so don't pass a context to
io_req_task_work_add_remote() explicitly but derive it from the request.

Pull more io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Final separate updates for io_uring.

  This started out as a series of cleanups improvements and improvements
  for registered buffers, but as the last series of the io_uring changes
  for 6.15, it also collected a few fixes for the other branches on top:

   - Add support for vectored fixed/registered buffers.

     Previously only single segments have been supported for commands,
     now vectored variants are supported as well. This series includes
     networking and file read/write support.

   - Small series unifying return codes across multi and single shot.

   - Small series cleaning up registerd buffer importing.

   - Adding support for vectored registered buffers for uring_cmd.

   - Fix for io-wq handling of command reissue.

   - Various little fixes and tweaks"

Pull io_uring zero-copy receive support from Jens Axboe:
 "This adds support for zero-copy receive with io_uring, enabling fast
  bulk receive of data directly into application memory, rather than
  needing to copy the data out of kernel memory.

  While this version only supports host memory as that was the initial
  target, other memory types are planned as well, with notably GPU
  memory coming next.

  This work depends on some networking components which were queued up
  on the networking side, but have now landed in your tree.

  This is the work of Pavel Begunkov and David Wei. From the v14 posting:

    'We configure a page pool that a driver uses to fill a hw rx queue
     to hand out user pages instead of kernel pages. Any data that ends
     up hitting this hw rx queue will thus be dma'd into userspace
     memory directly, without needing to be bounced through kernel
     memory. 'Reading' data out of a socket instead becomes a
     _notification_ mechanism, where the kernel tells userspace where
     the data is. The overall approach is similar to the devmem TCP
     proposal

     This relies on hw header/data split, flow steering and RSS to
     ensure packet headers remain in kernel memory and only desired
     flows hit a hw rx queue configured for zero copy. Configuring this
     is outside of the scope of this patchset.

     We share netdev core infra with devmem TCP. The main difference is
     that io_uring is used for the uAPI and the lifetime of all objects
     are bound to an io_uring instance. Data is 'read' using a new
     io_uring request type. When done, data is returned via a new shared
     refill queue. A zero copy page pool refills a hw rx queue from this
     refill queue directly. Of course, the lifetime of these data
     buffers are managed by io_uring rather than the networking stack,
     with different refcounting rules.

     This patchset is the first step adding basic zero copy support. We
     will extend this iteratively with new features e.g. dynamically
     allocated zero copy areas, THP support, dmabuf support, improved
     copy fallback, general optimisations and more'

  In a local setup, I was able to saturate a 200G link with a single CPU
  core, and at netdev conf 0x19 earlier this month, Jamal reported
  188Gbit of bandwidth using a single core (no HT, including soft-irq).

  Safe to say the efficiency is there, as bigger links would be needed
  to find the per-core limit, and it's considerably more efficient and
  faster than the existing devmem solution"

IOU_OK means that the request ownership is now handed back to core
io_uring and it has to complete it using the result provided in
req-&gt;cqe. Same is true for multishot and IOU_STOP_MULTISHOT.

Rename it into IOU_COMPLETE to avoid confusion and use for both modes.

Multishot errors can be mapped 1:1 to normal errors, but there are not
identical. It leads to a peculiar situation where all multishot requests
has to check in what context they're run and return different codes.

Unify them starting with EAGAIN / IOU_ISSUE_SKIP_COMPLETE(EIOCBQUEUED)
pair, which mean that core io_uring still owns the request and it should
be retried. In case of multishot it's naturally just continues to poll,
otherwise it might poll, use iowq or do any other kind of allowed
blocking. Introduce IOU_RETRY aliased to -EAGAIN for that.

Apart from obvious upsides, multishot can now also check for misuse of
IOU_ISSUE_SKIP_COMPLETE.

A preparation patch adding a simple helper for gauging the compat state.
It'll help us to optimise and compile out more code in the following
commits.

<title>io_uring/zcrx: add io_recvzc request</title>

Add io_uring opcode OP_RECV_ZC for doing zero copy reads out of a
socket. Only the connection should be land on the specific rx queue set
up for zero copy, and the socket must be handled by the io_uring
instance that the rx queue was registered for zero copy with. That's
because neither net_iovs / buffers from our queue can be read by outside
applications, nor zero copy is possible if traffic for the zero copy
connection goes to another queue. This coordination is outside of the
scope of this patch series. Also, any traffic directed to the zero copy
enabled queue is immediately visible to the application, which is why
CAP_NET_ADMIN is required at the registration step.

Of course, no data is actually read out of the socket, it has already
been copied by the netdev into userspace memory via DMA. OP_RECV_ZC
reads skbs out of the socket and checks that its frags are indeed
net_iovs that belong to io_uring. A cqe is queued for each one of these
frags.

Recall that each cqe is a big cqe, with the top half being an
io_uring_zcrx_cqe. The cqe res field contains the len or error. The
lower IORING_ZCRX_AREA_SHIFT bits of the struct io_uring_zcrx_cqe::off
field contain the offset relative to the start of the zero copy area.
The upper part of the off field is trivially zero, and will be used
to carry the area id.

For now, there is no limit as to how much work each OP_RECV_ZC request
does. It will attempt to drain a socket of all available data. This
request always operates in multishot mode.

<title>io_uring: introduce type alias for io_tw_state</title>

In preparation for changing how io_tw_state is passed, introduce a type
alias io_tw_token_t for struct io_tw_state *. This allows for changing
the representation in one place, without having to update the many
functions that just forward their struct io_tw_state * argument.

Also add a comment to struct io_tw_state to explain its purpose.
