Allow deferring async tasks until the user calls io_uring_enter(2) with
the IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS flag. Enable this mode with a flag at
io_uring_setup time. This functionality requires that the later
io_uring_enter will be called from the same submission task, and therefore
restrict this flag to work only when IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER is also
set.
Being able to hand pick when tasks are run prevents the problem where
there is current work to be done, however task work runs anyway.
For example, a common workload would obtain a batch of CQEs, and process
each one. Interrupting this to additional taskwork would add latency but
not gain anything. If instead task work is deferred to just before more
CQEs are obtained then no additional latency is added.
The way this is implemented is by trying to keep task work local to a
io_ring_ctx, rather than to the submission task. This is required, as the
application will want to wake up only a single io_ring_ctx at a time to
process work, and so the lists of work have to be kept separate.
This has some other benefits like not having to check the task continually
in handle_tw_list (and potentially unlocking/locking those), and reducing
locks in the submit & process completions path.
There are networking cases where using this option can reduce request
latency by 50%. For example a contrived example using [1] where the client
sends 2k data and receives the same data back while doing some system
calls (to trigger task work) shows this reduction. The reason ends up
being that if sending responses is delayed by processing task work, then
the client side sits idle. Whereas reordering the sends first means that
the client runs it's workload in parallel with the local task work.

The passed in index should be validated against the number of registered
files we have, it needs to be smaller than the index value to avoid going
one beyond the end.

The io_uring cancelation API is async, like any other API that we expose
there. For the case of finding a request to cancel, or not finding one,
it is fully sync in that when submission returns, the CQE for both the
cancelation request and the targeted request have been posted to the
CQ ring.
However, if the targeted work is being executed by io-wq, the API can
only start the act of canceling it. This makes it difficult to use in
some circumstances, as the caller then has to wait for the CQEs to come
in and match on the same cancelation data there.
Provide a IORING_REGISTER_SYNC_CANCEL command for io_uring_register()
that does sync cancelations, always. For the io-wq case, it'll wait
for the cancelation to come in before returning. The only expected
returns from this API is:
0 Request found and canceled fine.
> 0 Requests found and canceled. Only happens if asked to
cancel multiple requests, and if the work wasn't in
progress.
-ENOENT Request not found.
-ETIME A timeout on the operation was requested, but the timeout
expired before we could cancel.
and we won't get -EALREADY via this API.
If the timeout value passed in is -1 (tv_sec and tv_nsec), then that
means that no timeout is requested. Otherwise, the timespec passed in
is the amount of time the sync cancel will wait for a successful
cancelation.

In preparation for not having a request to pass in that carries this
state, add a separate cancelation flag that allows the caller to ask
for a fixed file for cancelation.

We just use the io_kiocb passed in to find the io_uring_task, and we
already pass in the ctx via cd->ctx anyway.

Add a new io_hash_bucket structure so that each bucket in cancel_hash
has separate spinlock. Use per entry lock for cancel_hash, this removes
some completion lock invocation and remove contension between different
cancel_hash entries.

This also helps cleanup the io_uring.h cancel parts, as we can make
things static in the cancel.c file, mostly.
