Two of the three callers want them, so return the more usual format,
and shift into the FFS_ form only for the fixed file table.

Just checking the flag directly makes it a lot more obvious what is
going on here.

We use task_work for a variety of reasons, but doing completions or
triggering rety after poll are by far the hottest two. Use the indirect
funtion call wrappers to avoid the indirect function call if
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Cleanup of the io-wq per-node mapping, notably getting rid of it so
   we just have a single io_wq entry per ring (Breno)

 - Followup to the above, move accounting to io_wq as well and
   completely drop struct io_wqe (Gabriel)

 - Enable KASAN for the internal io_uring caches (Breno)

 - Add support for multishot timeouts. Some applications use timeouts to
   wake someone waiting on completion entries, and this makes it a bit
   easier to just have a recurring timer rather than needing to rearm it
   every time (David)

 - Support archs that have shared cache coloring between userspace and
   the kernel, and hence have strict address requirements for mmap'ing
   the ring into userspace. This should only be parisc/hppa. (Helge, me)

 - XFS has supported O_DIRECT writes without needing to lock the inode
   exclusively for a long time, and ext4 now supports it as well. This
   is true for the common cases of not extending the file size. Flag the
   fs as having that feature, and utilize that to avoid serializing
   those writes in io_uring (me)

 - Enable completion batching for uring commands (me)

 - Revert patch adding io_uring restriction to what can be GUP mapped or
   not. This does not belong in io_uring, as io_uring isn't really
   special in this regard. Since this is also getting in the way of
   cleanups and improvements to the GUP code, get rid of if (me)

 - A few series greatly reducing the complexity of registered resources,
   like buffers or files. Not only does this clean up the code a lot,
   the simplified code is also a LOT more efficient (Pavel)

 - Series optimizing how we wait for events and run task_work related to
   it (Pavel)

 - Fixes for file/buffer unregistration with DEFER_TASKRUN (Pavel)

 - Misc cleanups and improvements (Pavel, me)

<title>io_uring: reduce scheduling due to tw</title>

Every task_work will try to wake the task to be executed, which causes
excessive scheduling and additional overhead. For some tw it's
justified, but others won't do much but post a single CQE.

When a task waits for multiple cqes, every such task_work will wake it
up. Instead, the task may give a hint about how many cqes it waits for,
io_req_local_work_add() will compare against it and skip wake ups
if #cqes + #tw is not enough to satisfy the waiting condition. Task_work
that uses the optimisation should be simple enough and never post more
than one CQE. It's also ignored for non DEFER_TASKRUN rings.

For task works we're passing around a bool pointer for whether the
current ring is locked or not, let's wrap it in a structure, that
will make it more opaque preventing abuse and will also help us
to pass more info in the future if needed.

These just return the address and length of the current iovec segment
in the iterator. Convert existing iov_iter_iovec() users to use them

This returns a pointer to the current iovec entry in the iterator. Only
useful with ITER_IOVEC right now, but it prepares us to treat ITER_UBUF
and ITER_IOVEC identically for the first segment.

Rename struct iov_iter-&gt;iov to iov_iter-&gt;__iov to find any potentially
troublesome spots, and also to prevent anyone from adding new code that
accesses iter-&gt;iov directly.

<title>blk-mq: remove hybrid polling</title>

io_uring provides the only way user space can poll completions, and that
always sets BLK_POLL_NOSLEEP. This effectively makes hybrid polling dead
code, so remove it and everything supporting it.

Hybrid polling was effectively killed off with 9650b453a3d4b1, "block:
ignore RWF_HIPRI hint for sync dio", but still potentially reachable
through io_uring until d729cf9acb93119, "io_uring: don't sleep when
polling for I/O", but hybrid polling probably should not have been
reachable through that async interface from the beginning.

Fixes: 9650b453a3d4 ("block: ignore RWF_HIPRI hint for sync dio")
Fixes: d729cf9acb93 ("io_uring: don't sleep when polling for I/O")
