Mark reports an issue with the recent patches coalescing compound pages
while registering them in io_uring. The reason is that we try to drop
excessive references with folio_put_refs(), but pages were acquired
with pin_user_pages(), which has extra accounting and so should be put
down with matching unpin_user_pages() or at least gup_put_folio().

As a fix unpin_user_pages() all but first page instead, and let's figure
out a better API after.

msg_ring requests transferring files support auto index selection via
IORING_FILE_INDEX_ALLOC, however they don't return the selected index
to the target ring and there is no other good way for the userspace to
know where is the receieved file.

Return the index for allocated slots and 0 otherwise, which is
consistent with other fixed file installing requests.

<title>io_uring/sqpoll: Do not set PF_NO_SETAFFINITY on sqpoll threads</title>

Users may specify a CPU where the sqpoll thread would run. This may
conflict with cpuset operations because of strict PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
requirement. That flag is unnecessary for polling "kernel" threads, see
the reasoning in commit 01e68ce08a30 ("io_uring/io-wq: stop setting
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY on io-wq workers"). Drop the flag on poll threads too.

<title>io_uring: silence variable ‘prev’ set but not used warning</title>

If io_uring.o is built with W=1, it triggers a warning:

io_uring/io_uring.c: In function ‘__io_submit_flush_completions’:
io_uring/io_uring.c:1502:40: warning: variable ‘prev’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
 1502 |         struct io_wq_work_node *node, *prev;
      |                                        ^~~~

which is due to the wq_list_for_each() iterator always keeping a 'prev'
variable. Most users need this to remove an entry from a list, for
example, but __io_submit_flush_completions() never does that.

Add a basic helper that doesn't track prev instead, and use that in
that function.

It's possible for a file type to support uring commands, but not
pollable ones. Hence before issuing one of those, we should check
that it is supported and error out upfront if it isn't.

Every now and then reports come in that are puzzled on why changing
affinity on the io-wq workers fails with EINVAL. This happens because they
set PF_NO_SETAFFINITY as part of their creation, as io-wq organizes
workers into groups based on what CPU they are running on.

However, this is purely an optimization and not a functional requirement.
We can allow setting affinity, and just lazily update our worker to wqe
mappings. If a given io-wq thread times out, it normally exits if there's
no more work to do. The exception is if it's the last worker available.
For the timeout case, check the affinity of the worker against group mask
and exit even if it's the last worker. New workers should be created with
the right mask and in the right location.

Pull more io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Here's a set of fixes/changes that didn't make the first cut, either
  because they got queued before I sent the early merge request, or
  fixes that came in afterwards. In detail:

   - Don't set MSG_NOSIGNAL on recv/recvmsg opcodes, as AF_PACKET will
     error out (David)

   - Fix for spurious poll wakeups (me)

   - Fix for a file leak for buffered reads in certain conditions
     (Joseph)

   - Don't allow registered buffers of mixed types (Pavel)

   - Improve handling of huge pages for registered buffers (Pavel)

   - Provided buffer ring size calculation fix (Wojciech)

   - Minor cleanups (me)"

<title>capability: just use a 'u64' instead of a 'u32[2]' array</title>

Back in 2008 we extended the capability bits from 32 to 64, and we did
it by extending the single 32-bit capability word from one word to an
array of two words.  It was then obfuscated by hiding the "2" behind two
macro expansions, with the reasoning being that maybe it gets extended
further some day.

That reasoning may have been valid at the time, but the last thing we
want to do is to extend the capability set any more.  And the array of
values not only causes source code oddities (with loops to deal with
it), but also results in worse code generation.  It's a lose-lose
situation.

So just change the 'u32[2]' into a 'u64' and be done with it.

We still have to deal with the fact that the user space interface is
designed around an array of these 32-bit values, but that was the case
before too, since the array layouts were different (ie user space
doesn't use an array of 32-bit values for individual capability masks,
but an array of 32-bit slices of multiple masks).

So that marshalling of data is actually simplified too, even if it does
remain somewhat obscure and odd.

This was all triggered by my reaction to the new "cap_isidentical()"
introduced recently.  By just using a saner data structure, it went from

	unsigned __capi;
	CAP_FOR_EACH_U32(__capi) {
		if (a.cap[__capi] != b.cap[__capi])
			return false;
	}
	return true;

to just being

	return a.val == b.val;

instead.  Which is rather more obvious both to humans and to compilers.

We only use one, and it's io_poll_wake(). Hardwire that in the initial
init, as well as in __io_queue_proc() if we're setting up for double
poll.
