    io_uring: return an error when cqe is dropped · 155bc950
    Dylan Yudaken authored
    Right now io_uring will not actively inform userspace if a CQE is
    dropped. This is extremely rare, requiring a CQ ring overflow, as well as
    a GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc failure. However the consequences could cause for
    example applications to go into an undefined state, possibly waiting for a
    CQE that never arrives.
    
    Return an error code (EBADR) in these cases. Since this is expected to be
    incredibly rare, try and avoid as much as possible affecting the hot code
    paths, and so it only is returned lazily and when there is no other
    available CQEs.
    
    Once the error is returned, reset the error condition assuming the user is
    either ok with it or will clean up appropriately.
