Merge tag 'for-5.19/io_uring-2022-05-22' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe: "Here are the main io_uring changes for 5.19. This contains: - Fixes for sparse type warnings (Christoph, Vasily) - Support for multi-shot accept (Hao) - Support for io_uring managed fixed files, rather than always needing the applicationt o manage the indices (me) - Fix for a spurious poll wakeup (Dylan) - CQE overflow fixes (Dylan) - Support more types of cancelations (me) - Support for co-operative task_work signaling, rather than always forcing an IPI (me) - Support for doing poll first when appropriate, rather than always attempting a transfer first (me) - Provided buffer cleanups and support for mapped buffers (me) - Improve how io_uring handles inflight SCM files (Pavel) - Speedups for registered files (Pavel, me) - Organize the completion data in a struct in io_kiocb rather than keep it in separate spots (Pavel) - task_work improvements (Pavel) - Cleanup and optimize the submission path, in general and for handling links (Pavel) - Speedups for registered resource handling (Pavel) - Support sparse buffers and file maps (Pavel, me) - Various fixes and cleanups (Almog, Pavel, me)" * tag 'for-5.19/io_uring-2022-05-22' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (111 commits) io_uring: fix incorrect __kernel_rwf_t cast io_uring: disallow mixed provided buffer group registrations io_uring: initialize io_buffer_list head when shared ring is unregistered io_uring: add fully sparse buffer registration io_uring: use rcu_dereference in io_close io_uring: consistently use the EPOLL* defines io_uring: make apoll_events a __poll_t io_uring: drop a spurious inline on a forward declaration io_uring: don't use ERR_PTR for user pointers io_uring: use a rwf_t for io_rw.flags io_uring: add support for ring mapped supplied buffers io_uring: add io_pin_pages() helper io_uring: add buffer selection support to IORING_OP_NOP io_uring: fix locking state for empty buffer group io_uring: implement multishot mode for accept io_uring: let fast poll support multishot io_uring: add REQ_F_APOLL_MULTISHOT for requests io_uring: add IORING_ACCEPT_MULTISHOT for accept io_uring: only wake when the correct events are set io_uring: avoid io-wq -EAGAIN looping for !IOPOLL ...
