io_uring: export cq overflow status to userspace
For those applications which are not willing to use io_uring_enter() to reap and handle cqes, they may completely rely on liburing's io_uring_peek_cqe(), but if cq ring has overflowed, currently because io_uring_peek_cqe() is not aware of this overflow, it won't enter kernel to flush cqes, below test program can reveal this bug: static void test_cq_overflow(struct io_uring *ring) { struct io_uring_cqe *cqe; struct io_uring_sqe *sqe; int issued = 0; int ret = 0; do { sqe = io_uring_get_sqe(ring); if (!sqe) { fprintf(stderr, "get sqe failed\n"); break;; } ret = io_uring_submit(ring); if (ret <= 0) { if (ret != -EBUSY) fprintf(stderr, "sqe submit failed: %d\n", ret); break; } issued++; } while (ret > 0); assert(ret == -EBUSY); printf("issued requests: %d\n", issued); while (issued) { ret = io_uring_peek_cqe(ring, &cqe); if (ret) { if (ret != -EAGAIN) { fprintf(stderr, "peek completion failed: %s\n", strerror(ret)); break; } printf("left requets: %d\n", issued); continue; } io_uring_cqe_seen(ring, cqe); issued--; printf("left requets: %d\n", issued); } } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int ret; struct io_uring ring; ret = io_uring_queue_init(16, &ring, 0); if (ret) { fprintf(stderr, "ring setup failed: %d\n", ret); return 1; } test_cq_overflow(&ring); return 0; } To fix this issue, export cq overflow status to userspace by adding new IORING_SQ_CQ_OVERFLOW flag, then helper functions() in liburing, such as io_uring_peek_cqe, can be aware of this cq overflow and do flush accordingly.
