In buffer lists we have -&gt;is_mapped as well as -&gt;is_mmap, it's
pretty hard to stay sane double checking which one means what,
and in the long run there is a high chance of an eventual bug.
Rename -&gt;is_mapped into -&gt;is_buf_ring.

We only use the flag for this purpose, so rename it accordingly. This
further prevents various other use cases of it, keeping it clean and
consistent. Then we can also check it in one spot, when it's being
attempted recycled, and remove some dead code in io_kbuf_recycle_ring().

<title>io_uring/kbuf: flag request if buffer pool is empty after buffer pick</title>

Normally we do an extra roundtrip for retries even if the buffer pool has
depleted, as we don't check that upfront. Rather than add this check, have
the buffer selection methods mark the request with REQ_F_BL_EMPTY if the
used buffer group is out of buffers after this selection. This is very
cheap to do once we're all the way inside there anyway, and it gives the
caller a chance to make better decisions on how to proceed.

For example, recv/recvmsg multishot could check this flag when it
decides whether to keep receiving or not.

<title>io_uring/kbuf: cleanup passing back cflags</title>

We have various functions calculating the CQE cflags we need to pass
back, but it's all the same everywhere. Make a number of the putting
functions void, and just have the two main helps for this, io_put_kbuf()
and io_put_kbuf_comp() calculate the actual mask and pass it back.

While at it, cleanup how we put REQ_F_BUFFER_RING buffers. Before
this change, we would call into __io_put_kbuf() only to go right back
in to the header defined functions. As clearing this type of buffer
is just re-assigning the buf_index and incrementing the head, this
is very wasteful.

This adds a flag to avoid dipping dereferencing file and then f_op to
figure out if the file has a poll handler defined or not. We generally
call this at least twice for networked workloads, and if using ring
provided buffers, we do it on every buffer selection. Particularly the
latter is troublesome, as it's otherwise a very fast operation.

<title>io_uring/kbuf: add method for returning provided buffer ring head</title>

The tail of the provided ring buffer is shared between the kernel and
the application, but the head is private to the kernel as the
application doesn't need to see it. However, this also prevents the
application from knowing how many buffers the kernel has consumed.
Usually this is fine, as the information is inherently racy in that
the kernel could be consuming buffers continually, but for cleanup
purposes it may be relevant to know how many buffers are still left
in the ring.

Add IORING_REGISTER_PBUF_STATUS which will return status for a given
provided buffer ring. Right now it just returns the head, but space
is reserved for more information later in, if needed.

mmap_lock nests under uring_lock out of necessity, as we may be doing
user copies with uring_lock held. However, for mmap of provided buffer
rings, we attempt to grab uring_lock with mmap_lock already held from
do_mmap(). This makes lockdep, rightfully, complain:

From that mmap(2) path, we really just need to ensure that the buffer
list doesn't go away from underneath us. For the lower indexed entries,
they never go away until the ring is freed and we can always sanely
reference those as long as the caller has a file reference. For the
higher indexed ones in our xarray, we just need to ensure that the
buffer list remains valid while we return the address of it.

Free the higher indexed io_buffer_list entries via RCU. With that we can
avoid needing -&gt;uring_lock inside mmap(2), and simply hold the RCU read
lock around the buffer list lookup and address check.

To ensure that the arrayed lookup either returns a valid fully formulated
entry via RCU lookup, add an 'is_ready' flag that we access with store
and release memory ordering. This isn't needed for the xarray lookups,
but doesn't hurt either. Since this isn't a fast path, retain it across
both types. Similarly, for the allocated array inside the ctx, ensure
we use the proper load/acquire as setup could in theory be running in
parallel with mmap.

While in there, add a few lockdep checks for documentation purposes.

We used to just use our page list for final teardown, which would ensure
that we got all the buffers, even the ones that were not on the normal
cached list. But while moving to slab for the io_buffers, we know only
prune this list, not the deferred locked list that we have. This can
cause a leak of memory, if the workload ends up using the intermediate
locked list.

Fix this by always pruning both lists when tearing down.
