commit fcb323cc53e29d9cc696d606bb42736b32dd9825 upstream.

This is in preparation for adding opcodes that need to add new files
in a process file table, system calls like open(2) or accept4(2).

If an opcode needs this, it must set IO_WQ_WORK_NEEDS_FILES in the work
item. If work that needs to get punted to async context have this
set, the async worker will assume the original task file table before
executing the work.

Note that opcodes that need access to the current files of an
application cannot be done through IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL.

commit 561fb04a6a2257716738dac2ed812f377c2634c2 upstream.

Drop various work-arounds we have for workqueues:

- We no longer need the async_list for tracking sequential IO.

- We don't have to maintain our own mm tracking/setting.

- We don't need a separate workqueue for buffered writes. This didn't
  even work that well to begin with, as it was suboptimal for multiple
  buffered writers on multiple files.

- We can properly cancel pending interruptible work. This fixes
  deadlocks with particularly socket IO, where we cannot cancel them
  when the io_uring is closed. Hence the ring will wait forever for
  these requests to complete, which may never happen. This is different
  from disk IO where we know requests will complete in a finite amount
  of time.

- Due to being able to cancel work interruptible work that is already
  running, we can implement file table support for work. We need that
  for supporting system calls that add to a process file table.

- It gets us one step closer to adding async support for any system
  call.

commit 771b53d033e8663abdf59704806aa856b236dcdb upstream.

This adds support for io-wq, a smaller and specialized thread pool
implementation. This is meant to replace workqueues for io_uring. Among
the reasons for this addition are:

- We can assign memory context smarter and more persistently if we
  manage the life time of threads.

- We can drop various work-arounds we have in io_uring, like the
  async_list.

- We can implement hashed work insertion, to manage concurrency of
  buffered writes without needing a) an extra workqueue, or b)
  needlessly making the concurrency of said workqueue very low
  which hurts performance of multiple buffered file writers.

- We can implement cancel through signals, for cancelling
  interruptible work like read/write (or send/recv) to/from sockets.

- We need the above cancel for being able to assign and use file tables
  from a process.

- We can implement a more thorough cancel operation in general.

- We need it to move towards a syslet/threadlet model for even faster
  async execution. For that we need to take ownership of the used
  threads.

This list is just off the top of my head. Performance should be the
same, or better, at least that's what I've seen in my testing. io-wq
supports basic NUMA functionality, setting up a pool per node.

io-wq hooks up to the scheduler schedule in/out just like workqueue
and uses that to drive the need for more/less workers.
