Merge tag 'for-6.18/io_uring-20250929' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Store ring provided buffers locally for the users, rather than stuff
   them into struct io_kiocb.

   These types of buffers must always be fully consumed or recycled in
   the current context, and leaving them in struct io_kiocb is hence not
   a good ideas as that struct has a vastly different life time.

   Basically just an architecture cleanup that can help prevent issues
   with ring provided buffers in the future.

 - Support for mixed CQE sizes in the same ring.

   Before this change, a CQ ring either used the default 16b CQEs, or it
   was setup with 32b CQE using IORING_SETUP_CQE32. For use cases where
   a few 32b CQEs were needed, this caused everything else to use big
   CQEs. This is wasteful both in terms of memory usage, but also memory
   bandwidth for the posted CQEs.

   With IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED, applications may use request types that
   post both normal 16b and big 32b CQEs on the same ring.

 - Add helpers for async data management, to make it harder for opcode
   handlers to mess it up.

 - Add support for multishot for uring_cmd, which ublk can use. This
   helps improve efficiency, by providing a persistent request type that
   can trigger multiple CQEs.

 - Add initial support for ring feature querying.

   We had basic support for probe operations, but the API isn't great.
   Rather than expand that, add support for QUERY which is easily
   expandable and can cover a lot more cases than the existing probe
   support. This will help applications get a better idea of what
   operations are supported on a given host.

 - zcrx improvements from Pavel:
        - Improve refill entry alignment for better caching
        - Various cleanups, especially around deduplicating normal
          memory vs dmabuf setup.
        - Generalisation of the niov size (Patch 12). It's still hard
          coded to PAGE_SIZE on init, but will let the user to specify
          the rx buffer length on setup.
        - Syscall / synchronous bufer return. It'll be used as a slow
          fallback path for returning buffers when the refill queue is
          full. Useful for tolerating slight queue size misconfiguration
          or with inconsistent load.
        - Accounting more memory to cgroups.
        - Additional independent cleanups that will also be useful for
          mutli-area support.

 - Various fixes and cleanups

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
