io_ring_buffers_peek() builds an iovec array from provided buffers, and
that in turn can be handed off to a lower level provider. Be prudent and
cap the total size to MAX_RW_COUNT, which is the Linux default for how
much IO do to in a single call.

No bugs here, but it's a good preventative measure to avoid truncation
issues.

<title>io_uring/kbuf: free the replaced iovec after a successful grow</title>

The provided-buffer validation fix deferred freeing a cached iovec
until validation completed. However, the deferred free uses arg-&gt;iovs.
After a grow, that points to the newly allocated array. Without a grow,
it points to the cached array that remains in use.

This leaves the caller with a dangling iovec in both cases and can
result in repeated frees. Only free org_iovs when arg-&gt;iovs actually
replaced it.

When growing a provided-buffer bundle, the old cached iovec is freed
before the new buffers have all been validated. If validation fails, the
request still points at the freed iovec, which can be freed again during
completion cleanup.

Fix this by deferring the free of the old cached iovec until validation
has succeeded. On failure, free the newly allocated iovec and leave the
request pointing at the original one.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Rework the task_work infrastructure.

   Both the local (DEFER_TASKRUN) and the normal (tctx) task_work lists
   were llist based, which is LIFO ordered, and hence each run had to do
   an O(n) list reversal pass first to restore queue order.
   Additionally, to cap the amount of task_work run, each method needed
   a retry list as well.

   Add a lockless MPCS FIFO queue (based on Dmitry Vyukov's intrusive
   MPSC algorithm) and switch both task_work lists to it. It performs
   better than llists and we can then also ditch the retry lists as well
   as entries are popped one-at-the-time.

   On top of those changes, run the tctx fallback task_work directly and
   remove the now-unused per-ctx fallback machinery entirely.

 - zcrx user notifications.

   Add a mechanism for zcrx to communicate conditions back to userspace
   via a dedicated CQE, with the initial users being notification on
   running out of buffers and on a frag copy fallback, plus
   shared-memory notification statistics.

   Alongside that, a series of zcrx reliability and cleanup fixes: more
   reliable scrubbing, poisoning pointers on unregistration, dropping an
   extra ifq close, adding a ctx back-pointer, reordering fd allocation
   in the export path, and killing a dead 'sock' member.

 - Allow using io_uring registered buffers for plain SEND and RECV, not
   just for the zero-copy send path.

   This enables targets like ublk's NBD backend to push/pull IO data
   directly to/from a registered buffer over a plain send/recv on a TCP
   socket.

 - Registered buffer improvements: account huge pages correctly, bump
   the io_mapped_ubuf length field to size_t, and raise the previous 1GB
   registered buffer size limit.

 - Restrict the ctx access exposed to io_uring BPF struct_ops programs
   by handing them an opaque type rather than the full io_ring_ctx, and
   add a separate MAINTAINERS entry for the bpf-ops code.

 - Allow opcode filtering on IORING_OP_CONNECT.

 - Validate ring-provided buffer addresses with access_ok(), and align
   the legacy buffer add limit with MAX_BIDS_PER_BGID.

 - Various other cleanups and minor fixes, including avoiding msghdr
   async data on connect/bind, dropping async_size for OP_LISTEN, making
   the POLL_FIRST receive side checks consistent, re-checking
   IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT for each linked work item, and using
   trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites.

sanitized that any provided copy helper should separately validate

If buffers have been peeked for a bundle receive, the kernel will
truncate the end buffer, if the available length is shorter than the
buffer itself. This is unnecessary, as applications iterating bundle
receives must always use the minimum size of the buffer length and the
remaining number of bytes in the bundle. The examples in liburing do
that as well, eg examples/proxy.c.

If the kernel does truncate this buffer AND the current transfer fails,
then the buffer will be left with a smaller size than what is otherwise
available.

Just remove the buffer truncation, as it's not necessary in the first
place.

io_provide_buffers_prep() accepts nbufs up to MAX_BIDS_PER_BGID, but
io_add_buffers() stops when bl-&gt;nbufs reaches USHRT_MAX. This makes the
effective add limit one lower than the validated limit.

Use MAX_BIDS_PER_BGID in the add-side boundary check so validation and
execution use the same limit, and update the comment to refer to the
actual limit constant.

<content type='text'>
Incrementally consumed buffer rings are generally fully consumed, but
it's quite possible that the application has a minimum size it needs to
meet to avoid truncation. Currently that minimum limit is 1 byte, but
this should be a setting that is the hands of the application. For
recvmsg multishot, a prime use case for incrementally consumed buffers,
the application may get spurious -EFAULT returned at the end of an
incrementally consumed buffer, as less space is available than the
headers need.

Grab a u32 field in struct io_uring_buf_reg, which the application can
use to inform the kernel of the minimum size that should be available
in an incrementally consumed buffer. If less than that is available,
the current buffer is fully processed and the next one will be picked.

Incrementally consumed buffer rings are generally fully consumed, but
it's quite possible that the application has a minimum size it needs to
meet to avoid truncation. Currently that minimum limit is 1 byte, but
this should be a setting that is the hands of the application. For
recvmsg multishot, a prime use case for incrementally consumed buffers,
the application may get spurious -EFAULT returned at the end of an
incrementally consumed buffer, as less space is available than the
headers need.

Grab a u32 field in struct io_uring_buf_reg, which the application can
use to inform the kernel of the minimum size that should be available
in an incrementally consumed buffer. If less than that is available,
the current buffer is fully processed and the next one will be picked.

This is only ever assigned, never used. The only used part is the
calculated mask, which is used for indexing. Kill 'nr_entries'.
