2023-09-29io_uring: add support for vectored futex waitsJens Axboe
This adds support for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV, which allows registering a notification for a number of futexes at once. If one of the futexes are woken, then the request will complete with the index of the futex that got woken as the result. This is identical to what the normal vectored futex waitv operation does. Use like IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT, except sqe->addr must now contain a pointer to a struct futex_waitv array, and sqe->off must now contain the number of elements in that array. As flags are passed in the futex_vector array, and likewise for the value and futex address(es), sqe->addr2 and sqe->addr3 are also reserved for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV. For cancelations, FUTEX_WAITV does not rely on the futex_unqueue() return value as we're dealing with multiple futexes. Instead, a separate per io_uring request atomic is used to claim ownership of the request. Waiting on N futexes could be done with IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT as well, but that punts a lot of the work to the application: 1) Application would need to submit N IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT requests, rather than just a single IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV. 2) When one futex is woken, application would need to cancel the remaining N-1 requests that didn't trigger. While this is of course doable, having a single vectored futex wait makes for much simpler application code.

2023-09-29io_uring: add support for futex wake and waitJens Axboe
Add support for FUTEX_WAKE/WAIT primitives. IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAKE is mix of FUTEX_WAKE and FUTEX_WAKE_BITSET, as it does support passing in a bitset. Similary, IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT is a mix of FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET. For both of them, they are using the futex2 interface. FUTEX_WAKE is straight forward, as those can always be done directly from the io_uring submission without needing async handling. For FUTEX_WAIT, things are a bit more complicated. If the futex isn't ready, then we rely on a callback via futex_queue->wake() when someone wakes up the futex. From that calback, we queue up task_work with the original task, which will post a CQE and wake it, if necessary. Cancelations are supported, both from the application point-of-view, but also to be able to cancel pending waits if the ring exits before all events have occurred. The return value of futex_unqueue() is used to gate who wins the potential race between cancelation and futex wakeups. Whomever gets a 'ret == 1' return from that claims ownership of the io_uring futex request. This is just the barebones wait/wake support. PI or REQUEUE support is not added at this point, unclear if we might look into that later. Likewise, explicit timeouts are not supported either. It is expected that users that need timeouts would do so via the usual io_uring mechanism to do that using linked timeouts. The SQE format is as follows: `addr` Address of futex `fd` futex2(2) FUTEX2_* flags `futex_flags` io_uring specific command flags. None valid now. `addr2` Value of futex `addr3` Mask to wake/wait Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
