<content type='text'>
We need to correct some aspects of the IORING_OP_FIXED_FD_INSTALL
command to take into account the security implications of making an
io_uring-private file descriptor generally accessible to a userspace
task.

The first change in this patch is to enable auditing of the FD_INSTALL
operation as installing a file descriptor into a task's file descriptor
table is a security relevant operation and something that admins/users
may want to audit.

The second change is to disable the io_uring credential override
functionality, also known as io_uring "personalities", in the
FD_INSTALL command.  The credential override in FD_INSTALL is
particularly problematic as it affects the credentials used in the
security_file_receive() LSM hook.  If a task were to request a
credential override via REQ_F_CREDS on a FD_INSTALL operation, the LSM
would incorrectly check to see if the overridden credentials of the
io_uring were able to "receive" the file as opposed to the task's
credentials.  After discussions upstream, it's difficult to imagine a
use case where we would want to allow a credential override on a
FD_INSTALL operation so we are simply going to block REQ_F_CREDS on
IORING_OP_FIXED_FD_INSTALL operations.

io_uring can currently open/close regular files or fixed/direct
descriptors. Or you can instantiate a fixed descriptor from a regular
one, and then close the regular descriptor. But you currently can't turn
a purely fixed/direct descriptor into a regular file descriptor.

IORING_OP_FIXED_FD_INSTALL adds support for installing a direct
descriptor into the normal file table, just like receiving a file
descriptor or opening a new file would do. This is all nicely abstracted
into receive_fd(), and hence adding support for this is truly trivial.

Since direct descriptors are only usable within io_uring itself, it can
be useful to turn them into real file descriptors if they ever need to
be accessed via normal syscalls. This can either be a transitory thing,
or just a permanent transition for a given direct descriptor.

By default, new fds are installed with O_CLOEXEC set. The application
can disable O_CLOEXEC by setting IORING_FIXED_FD_NO_CLOEXEC in the
sqe-&gt;install_fd_flags member.

<title>io_uring: add support for vectored futex waits</title>

This adds support for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV, which allows registering a
notification for a number of futexes at once. If one of the futexes are
woken, then the request will complete with the index of the futex that got
woken as the result. This is identical to what the normal vectored futex
waitv operation does.

Use like IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT, except sqe-&gt;addr must now contain a
pointer to a struct futex_waitv array, and sqe-&gt;off must now contain the
number of elements in that array. As flags are passed in the futex_vector
array, and likewise for the value and futex address(es), sqe-&gt;addr2
and sqe-&gt;addr3 are also reserved for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.

For cancelations, FUTEX_WAITV does not rely on the futex_unqueue()
return value as we're dealing with multiple futexes. Instead, a separate
per io_uring request atomic is used to claim ownership of the request.

Waiting on N futexes could be done with IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT as well,
but that punts a lot of the work to the application:

1) Application would need to submit N IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT requests,
   rather than just a single IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.

2) When one futex is woken, application would need to cancel the
   remaining N-1 requests that didn't trigger.

While this is of course doable, having a single vectored futex wait
makes for much simpler application code.

Add support for FUTEX_WAKE/WAIT primitives.

IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAKE is mix of FUTEX_WAKE and FUTEX_WAKE_BITSET, as
it does support passing in a bitset.

Similary, IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT is a mix of FUTEX_WAIT and
FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET.

For both of them, they are using the futex2 interface.

FUTEX_WAKE is straight forward, as those can always be done directly from
the io_uring submission without needing async handling. For FUTEX_WAIT,
things are a bit more complicated. If the futex isn't ready, then we
rely on a callback via futex_queue-&gt;wake() when someone wakes up the
futex. From that calback, we queue up task_work with the original task,
which will post a CQE and wake it, if necessary.

Cancelations are supported, both from the application point-of-view,
but also to be able to cancel pending waits if the ring exits before
all events have occurred. The return value of futex_unqueue() is used
to gate who wins the potential race between cancelation and futex
wakeups. Whomever gets a 'ret == 1' return from that claims ownership
of the io_uring futex request.

This is just the barebones wait/wake support. PI or REQUEUE support is
not added at this point, unclear if we might look into that later.

Likewise, explicit timeouts are not supported either. It is expected
that users that need timeouts would do so via the usual io_uring
mechanism to do that using linked timeouts.

The SQE format is as follows:

`addr`		Address of futex
`fd`		futex2(2) FUTEX2_* flags
`futex_flags`	io_uring specific command flags. None valid now.
`addr2`		Value of futex
`addr3`		Mask to wake/wait

This adds support for an async version of waitid(2), in a fully async
version. If an event isn't immediately available, wait for a callback
to trigger a retry.

The format of the sqe is as follows:

sqe-&gt;len		The 'which', the idtype being queried/waited for.
sqe-&gt;fd			The 'pid' (or id) being waited for.
sqe-&gt;file_index		The 'options' being set.
sqe-&gt;addr2		A pointer to siginfo_t, if any, being filled in.

buf_index, add3, and waitid_flags are reserved/unused for now.
waitid_flags will be used for options for this request type. One
interesting use case may be to add multi-shot support, so that the
request stays armed and posts a notification every time a monitored
process state change occurs.

Note that this does not support rusage, on Arnd's recommendation.

See the waitid(2) man page for details on the arguments.

This behaves like IORING_OP_READ, except:

1) It only supports pollable files (eg pipes, sockets, etc). Note that
   for sockets, you probably want to use recv/recvmsg with multishot
   instead.

2) It supports multishot mode, meaning it will repeatedly trigger a
   read and fill a buffer when data is available. This allows similar
   use to recv/recvmsg but on non-sockets, where a single request will
   repeatedly post a CQE whenever data is read from it.

3) Because of #2, it must be used with provided buffers. This is
   uniformly true across any request type that supports multishot and
   transfers data, with the reason being that it's obviously not
   possible to pass in a single buffer for the data, as multiple reads
   may very well trigger before an application has a chance to process
   previous CQEs and the data passed from them.

This is cleaner than gating on the opcode type, particularly as more
read/write type opcodes may be added.

Then we can use that for the data import, and for __io_read() on
whether or not we need to copy state.

Currently uring CMD operation relies on having large SQEs, but future
operations might want to use normal SQE.

The io_uring_cmd currently only saves the payload (cmd) part of the SQE,
but, for commands that use normal SQE size, it might be necessary to
access the initial SQE fields outside of the payload/cmd block.  So,
saves the whole SQE other than just the pdu.

This changes slightly how the io_uring_cmd works, since the cmd
structures and callbacks are not opaque to io_uring anymore. I.e, the
callbacks can look at the SQE entries, not only, in the cmd structure.

The main advantage is that we don't need to create custom structures for
simple commands.

Creates io_uring_sqe_cmd() that returns the cmd private data as a null
pointer and avoids casting in the callee side.
Also, make most of ublk_drv's sqe-&gt;cmd priv structure into const, and use
io_uring_sqe_cmd() to get the private structure, removing the unwanted
cast. (There is one case where the cast is still needed since the
header-&gt;{len,addr} is updated in the private structure)

Currently uring CMD operation relies on having large SQEs, but future
operations might want to use normal SQE.
