Merge tag 'io_uring-worker.v3-2021-02-25' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe: "This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the original task identity. This kills > 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity we'll find). With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code on tracking state, or switching between different states. I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be manageable. There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later. The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact, if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and 5.11 stable branches as well. That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are: - arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread() implementation. - Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no longer needed or useful" * tag 'io_uring-worker.v3-2021-02-25' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (30 commits) io-wq: remove now unused IO_WQ_BIT_ERROR io_uring: fix SQPOLL thread handling over exec io-wq: improve manager/worker handling over exec io_uring: ensure SQPOLL startup is triggered before error shutdown io-wq: make buffered file write hashed work map per-ctx io-wq: fix race around io_worker grabbing io-wq: fix races around manager/worker creation and task exit io_uring: ensure io-wq context is always destroyed for tasks arch: ensure parisc/powerpc handle PF_IO_WORKER in copy_thread() io_uring: cleanup ->user usage io-wq: remove nr_process accounting io_uring: flag new native workers with IORING_FEAT_NATIVE_WORKERS net: remove cmsg restriction from io_uring based send/recvmsg calls Revert "proc: don't allow async path resolution of /proc/self components" Revert "proc: don't allow async path resolution of /proc/thread-self components" io_uring: move SQPOLL thread io-wq forked worker io-wq: make io_wq_fork_thread() available to other users io-wq: only remove worker from free_list, if it was there io_uring: remove io_identity io_uring: remove any grabbing of context ...
