      net: abstract out normal and compat msghdr import · 0a384abf
      Jens Axboe authored
      This splits it into two parts, one that imports the message, and one
      that imports the iovec. This allows a caller to only do the first part,
      and import the iovec manually afterwards.
      
      No functional changes in this patch.

      io_uring: add IOSQE_BUFFER_SELECT support for IORING_OP_READV · 4d954c25
      Jens Axboe authored
      This adds support for the vectored read. This is limited to supporting
      just 1 segment in the iov, and is provided just for convenience for
      applications that use IORING_OP_READV already.
      
      The iov helpers will be used for IORING_OP_RECVMSG as well.

      io_uring: support buffer selection for OP_READ and OP_RECV · bcda7baa
      Jens Axboe authored
      If a server process has tons of pending socket connections, generally
      it uses epoll to wait for activity. When the socket is ready for reading
      (or writing), the task can select a buffer and issue a recv/send on the
      given fd.
      
      Now that we have fast (non-async thread) support, a task can have tons
      of pending reads or writes pending. But that means they need buffers to
      back that data, and if the number of connections is high enough, having
      them preallocated for all possible connections is unfeasible.
      
      With IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS, an application can register buffers to
      use for any request. The request then sets IOSQE_BUFFER_SELECT in the
      sqe, and a given group ID in sqe->buf_group. When the fd becomes ready,
      a free buffer from the specified group is selected. If none are
      available, the request is terminated with -ENOBUFS. If successful, the
      CQE on completion will contain the buffer ID chosen in the cqe->flags
      member, encoded as:
      
      	(buffer_id << IORING_CQE_BUFFER_SHIFT) | IORING_CQE_F_BUFFER;
      
      Once a buffer has been consumed by a request, it is no longer available
      and must be registered again with IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS.
      
      Requests need to support this feature. For now, IORING_OP_READ and
      IORING_OP_RECV support it. This is checked on SQE submission, a CQE with
      res == -EOPNOTSUPP will be posted if attempted on unsupported requests.

      io_uring: add IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS · ddf0322d
      Jens Axboe authored
      IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS uses the buffer registration infrastructure to
      support passing in an addr/len that is associated with a buffer ID and
      buffer group ID. The group ID is used to index and lookup the buffers,
      while the buffer ID can be used to notify the application which buffer
      in the group was used. The addr passed in is the starting buffer address,
      and length is each buffer length. A number of buffers to add with can be
      specified, in which case addr is incremented by length for each addition,
      and each buffer increments the buffer ID specified.
      
      No validation is done of the buffer ID. If the application provides
      buffers within the same group with identical buffer IDs, then it'll have
      a hard time telling which buffer ID was used. The only restriction is
      that the buffer ID can be a max of 16-bits in size, so USHRT_MAX is the
      maximum ID that can be used.

      KVM: VMX: check descriptor table exits on instruction emulation · 86f7e90c
      Oliver Upton authored
      KVM emulates UMIP on hardware that doesn't support it by setting the
      'descriptor table exiting' VM-execution control and performing
      instruction emulation. When running nested, this emulation is broken as
      KVM refuses to emulate L2 instructions by default.
      
      Correct this regression by allowing the emulation of descriptor table
      instructions if L1 hasn't requested 'descriptor table exiting'.
