treewide: refresh kmalloc_obj() conversionsgrafted
This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc()
family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci
This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first
kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the
first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h
scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's
"--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped
to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control
flow indicator I could find.
Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc,
riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

Queue-wide + options are passed in ``fuse_uring_cmd_req.flags``: + + ``FUSE_URING_ZERO_COPY`` + Enable zero-copy on this queue. Requires ``CAP_SYS_ADMIN`` and a buffer + pool, which is added separately via ``ADD_BUFPOOL`` before registering + entries (see `Zero-copy`_). + +``FUSE_IO_URING_CMD_ADD_BUFPOOL`` + Register the payload buffer pool for an existing queue. The server provides + a single contiguous region in ``fuse_uring_cmd_req.bufpool.uaddr`` / + ``.len``. This command must be issued after ``ADD_QUEUE`` and before + registering any payload-carrying entries on that queue. + ``fuse_uring_cmd_req.flags`` must be 0. Submitting this command with + ``IORING_URING_CMD_FIXED`` marks the pool as registered, which avoids per + i/o pinning/unpinning and mapping overhead (see `Buffer pools`_). + +``FUSE_IO_URING_CMD_REGISTER`` + Register a ring entry (a long-lived SQE that carries the request header + iovec). For a zero-copy queue, ``fuse_uring_cmd_req.ent_zero_copy_buf_index`` + indicates the reserved registered buffer table slot this entry uses for + zero-copy (see `Zero-copy`_). + +``FUSE_IO_URING_CMD_COMMIT_AND_FETCH`` + Commit the reply for a completed request and fetch the next one.

Every SQE the server submits afterwards must follow the +same fixed-buffer protocol, carrying ``IORING_URING_CMD_FIXED`` and that same +``sqe->buf_index``. The same registered buffer can be reused for the server's +backing-store I/O as well (e.g. ``IORING_OP_READ_FIXED`` / +``IORING_OP_WRITE_FIXED``). + +Zero-copy +========= +Requirements: + +* The server must be privileged (``CAP_SYS_ADMIN``). +* A zero-copy queue: ``ADD_QUEUE`` with the ``FUSE_URING_ZERO_COPY`` flag set. +* A buffer pool: ``ADD_BUFPOOL``. +* For each entry, ``REGISTER`` with ``ent_zero_copy_buf_index`` set to the + index this entry uses in the server's io_uring registered-buffer table. + This is where the kernel registers the request's pages for the server to + access (it is separate from the payload pool). On a non-zero-copy queue this + field must be 0. + +Zero-copy is selected per open file. The server sets the open-file flag in +the ``FUSE_OPEN`` / ``FUSE_CREATE`` reply: + +``FOPEN_IO_URING_ZERO_COPY`` + Reads/writes on this open file should use zero-copy. + +For a request that is zero-copied, the kernel sets ``FUSE_URING_ENT_ZERO_COPY`` +in ``fuse_uring_ent_in_out.flags`` and places the request's pages at the +entry's ``ent_zero_copy_buf_index``. The server then issues +``IORING_OP_READ_FIXED`` / ``IORING_OP_WRITE_FIXED`` against that index to +transfer the data directly to/from the client's pages. + +For such a request, ``payload_sz`` includes the zero-copied page bytes +(transferred via the registered buffer at ``ent_zero_copy_buf_index``). Any +non-page-backed args (e.g. op headers) are still copied through the pool +payload buffer at ``offset``. |
