Keep track of the number requests a ring currently has allocated (and

We check sequences when queuing drained requests as well when flushing
them. Instead, always queue and immediately try to flush, so that all
seq handling can be kept contained in the flushing code.

Currently io_drain_req() has two steps. The first is fast path checking
sequence numbers. The second is allocations, rechecking and actual
queuing. Further simplify it by removing the first step.

io_queue_deferred() is not tolerant to spurious calls not completing
some requests. You can have an inflight drain-marked request and another
request that came after and got queued into the drain list. Now, if
io_queue_deferred() is called before the first request completes, it'll
check the 2nd req with req_need_defer(), find that there is no drain
flag set, and queue it for execution.
To make io_queue_deferred() work, it should at least check sequences for
the first request, and then we need also need to check if there is
another drain request creating another bubble.

Account drain allocations against memcg. It's not a big problem as each
such allocation is paired with a request, which is accounted, but it's
nicer to follow the limits more closely.

It'd be nice to hide details of how rsrc nodes are used by a request
from rsrc.c, specifically which request fields store them, and what bits
are signifying if there is a node in a request. It rather belong to
generic request handling, so move the helper to io_uring.c. While doing
so remove clearing of ->buf_node as it's controlled by REQ_F_BUF_NODE
and doesn't require zeroing.

Apart from setting ->ctx, io_preinit_req() zeroes a bunch of fields of a
request, from which only ->file_node is mandatory. Remove the function
and zero the entire request on first allocation. With that, we also need
to initialise ->ctx every time, which might be a good thing for
performance as now we're likely overwriting the entire cache line, and
so it can write combined and avoid RMW.

Refill queue region is a part of zcrx and should stay in struct
io_zcrx_ifq. We can't have multiple queues without it, so move it there.
As a result there is no context global zcrx region anymore, and the
region is looked up together with its ifq. To protect a concurrent mmap
from seeing an inconsistent region we were protecting changes to
->zcrx_region with mmap_lock, but now it protect the publishing of the
ifq.

There are two helpers here, one assigns and increments the node ref
count, and the other is simply a wrapper around that for the buffer node
handling.
The buffer node assignment benefits from checking and setting
REQ_F_BUF_NODE together, otherwise stalls have been observed on setting
that flag later in the process. Hence re-do it so that it's set when
checked, and cleared in case of (unlikely) failure. With that, the
buffer node helper can go, and then drop the generic
io_req_assign_rsrc_node() helper as well as there's only a single user
of it left at that point.

This works just like pipe2(2), except it also supports fixed file
descriptors. Used in a similar fashion as for other fd instantiating
opcodes (like accept, socket, open, etc), where sqe->file_slot is set
appropriately if two direct descriptors are desired rather than a set
of normal file descriptors.
sqe->addr must be set to a pointer to an array of 2 integers, which
is where the fixed/normal file descriptors are copied to.
sqe->pipe_flags contains flags, same as what is allowed for pipe2(2).
Future expansion of per-op private flags can go in sqe->ioprio,
like we do for other opcodes that take both a "syscall" flag set and
an io_uring opcode specific flag set.

The current situation with buffer group id juggling is not ideal.
req->buf_index first stores the bgid, then it's overwritten by a buffer
id, and then it can get restored back no recycling / etc. It's not so
easy to control, and it's not handled consistently across request types
with receive requests saving and restoring the bgid it by hand.
It's a prep patch that adds a buffer group id argument to
io_buffer_select(). The caller will be responsible for stashing a copy
somewhere and passing it into the function.

I had left the warning around but as a non-fatal error to get my gcc-15
builds going, but fixed up some of the most annoying warning cases so
that it wouldn't be *too* verbose.
Because I like the _concept_ of the warning, even if I detested the
implementation to shut it up.
It turns out the implementation to shut it up is even more broken than I
thought, and my "shut up most of the warnings" patch just caused fatal
errors on gcc-14 instead.
I had tested with clang, but when I upgrade my development environment,
I try to do it on all machines because I hate having different systems
to maintain, and hadn't realized that gcc-14 now had issues.
The ACPI case is literally why I wanted to have a *type* that doesn't
trigger the warning (see commit d5d45a7f2619: "gcc-15: make
'unterminated string initialization' just a warning"), instead of
marking individual places as "__nonstring".
But gcc-14 doesn't like that __nonstring location that shut gcc-15 up,
because it's on an array of char arrays, not on one single array:
drivers/acpi/tables.c:399:1: error: 'nonstring' attribute ignored on objects of type 'const char[][4]' [-Werror=attributes]
399 | static const char table_sigs[][ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE] __initconst __nonstring = {
| ^~~~~~
and my attempts to nest it properly with a type had failed, because of
how gcc doesn't like marking the types as having attributes, only
symbols.
There may be some trick to it, but I was already annoyed by the bad
attribute design, now I'm just entirely fed up with it.
I wish gcc had a proper way to say "this type is a *byte* array, not a
string".
The obvious thing would be to distinguish between "char []" and an
explicitly signed "unsigned char []" (as opposed to an implicitly
unsigned char, which is typically an architecture-specific default, but
for the kernel is universal thanks to '-funsigned-char').
But any "we can typedef a 8-bit type to not become a string just because
it's an array" model would be fine.
But "__attribute__((nonstring))" is sadly not that sane model.

The C sequence points are complicated things, and gcc-15 has apparently
added a warning for the case where an object is both used and modified
multiple times within the same sequence point.
That's a great warning.
Or rather, it would be a great warning, except gcc-15 seems to not
really be very exact about it, and doesn't notice that the modification
are to two entirely different members of the same object: the array
counter and the array entries.
So that seems kind of silly.
That said, the code that gcc complains about is unnecessarily
complicated, so moving the array counter update into a separate
statement seems like the most straightforward fix for these warnings:
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/d3.c: In function ‘iwl_mld_set_netdetect_info’:
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/d3.c:1102:66: error: operation on ‘netdetect_info->n_matches’ may be undefined [-Werror=sequence-point]
1102 | netdetect_info->matches[netdetect_info->n_matches++] = match;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/d3.c:1120:58: error: operation on ‘match->n_channels’ may be undefined [-Werror=sequence-point]
1120 | match->channels[match->n_channels++] =
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~
side note: the code at that second warning is actively buggy, and only
works on little-endian machines that don't do strict alignment checks.
The code casts an array of integers into an array of unsigned long in
order to use our bitmap iterators. That happens to work fine on any
sane architecture, but it's still wrong.
This does *not* fix that more serious problem. This only splits the two
assignments into two statements and fixes the compiler warning. I need
to get rid of the new warnings in order to be able to actually do any
build testing.

All of these cases are perfectly valid and good traditional C, but hit
by the "you're not NUL-terminating your byte array" warning.
And none of the cases want any terminating NUL character.
Mark them __nonstring to shut up gcc-15 (and in the case of the ak8974
magnetometer driver, I just removed the explicit array size and let gcc
expand the 3-byte and 6-byte arrays by one extra byte, because it was
the simpler change).

This removes two cases of explicit NUL padding that now causes warnings
because of '-Wunterminated-string-initialization' being part of -Wextra
in gcc-15.
Gcc is being silly in this case when it says that it truncates a NUL
terminator, because in these cases there were _multiple_ NUL characters.
But we can get rid of the warning by just simplifying the two
initializers that trigger the warning for me, so this does exactly that.
I'm not sure why the power supply code did that odd
.attr_name = #_name "\0",
pattern: it was introduced in commit 2cabeaf15129 ("power: supply: core:
Cleanup power supply sysfs attribute list"), but that 'attr_name[]'
field is an explicitly sized character array in a statically initialized
variable, and a string initializer always has a terminating NUL _and_
statically initialized character arrays are zero-padded anyway, so it
really seems to be rather extraneous belt-and-suspenders.
The zero_uuid[16] initialization in drivers/md/bcache/super.c makes
perfect sense, but it isn't necessary for the same reasons, and not
worth the new gcc warning noise.

This is not great: I'd much rather introduce a typedef that is a "ACPI
name byte buffer", and use that to mark these special 4-byte ACPI names
that do not use NUL termination.
But as noted in the previous commit ("gcc-15: make 'unterminated string
initialization' just a warning") gcc doesn't actually seem to support
that notion, so instead you have to just mark every single array
declaration individually.
So this is not pretty, but this gets rid of the bulk of the annoying
warnings during an allmodconfig build for me.

gcc-15 enabling -Wunterminated-string-initialization in -Wextra by
default was done with the best intentions, but the warning is still
quite broken.
What annoys me about the warning is that this is a very traditional AND
CORRECT way to initialize fixed byte arrays in C:
unsigned char hex[16] = "0123456789abcdef";
and we use this all over the kernel. And the warning is fine, but gcc
developers apparently never made a reasonable way to disable it. As is
(sadly) tradition with these things.
Yes, there's "__attribute__((nonstring))", and we have a macro to make
that absolutely disgusting syntax more palatable (ie the kernel syntax
for that monstrosity is just "__nonstring").
But that attribute is misdesigned. What you'd typically want to do is
tell the compiler that you are using a type that isn't a string but a
byte array, but that doesn't work at all:
warning: ‘nonstring’ attribute does not apply to types [-Wattributes]
and because of this fundamental mis-design, you then have to mark each
instance of that pattern.
This is particularly noticeable in our ACPI code, because ACPI has this
notion of a 4-byte "type name" that gets used all over, and is exactly
this kind of byte array.
This is a sad oversight, because the warning is useful, but really would
be so much better if gcc had also given a sane way to indicate that we
really just want a byte array type at a type level, not the broken "each
and every array definition" level.
So now instead of creating a nice "ACPI name" type using something like
typedef char acpi_name_t[4] __nonstring;
we have to do things like
char name[ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE] __nonstring;
in every place that uses this concept and then happens to have the
typical initializers.
This is annoying me mainly because I think the warning _is_ a good
warning, which is why I'm not just turning it off in disgust. But it is
hampered by this bad implementation detail.
[ And obviously I'm doing this now because system upgrades for me are
something that happen in the middle of the release cycle: don't do it
before or during travel, or just before or during the busy merge
window period. ]

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
- Revert the hfs{plus} deprecation warning that's also included in this
pull request. The commit introducing the deprecation warning resides
rather early in this branch. So simply dropping it would've rebased
all other commits which I decided to avoid. Hence the revert in the
same branch
[ Background - the deprecation warning discussion resulted in people
stepping up, and so hfs{plus} will have a maintainer taking care of
it after all.. - Linus ]
- Switch CONFIG_SYSFS_SYCALL default to n and decouple from
CONFIG_EXPERT
- Fix an audit bug caused by changes to our kernel path lookup helpers
this cycle. Audit needs the parent path even if the dentry it tried
to look up is negative
- Ensure that the kernel path lookup helpers leave the passed in path
argument clean when they return an error. This is consistent with all
our other helpers
- Ensure that vfs_getattr_nosec() calls bdev_statx() so the relevant
information is available to kernel consumers as well
- Don't set a timer and call schedule() if the timer will expire
immediately in epoll
- Make netfs lookup tables with __nonstring
* tag 'vfs-6.15-rc3.fixes.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
