2025-09-08io_uring: introduce io_uring queryingPavel Begunkov1-0/+41
There are many parameters users might want to query about io_uring like available request types or the ring sizes. This patch introduces an interface for such slow path queries. It was written with several requirements in mind: - Can be used with or without an io_uring instance. Asking for supported setup flags before creating an instance as well as qeurying info about an already created ring are valid use cases. - Should be moderately fast. For example, users might use it to periodically retrieve ring attributes at runtime. As a consequence, it should be able to query multiple attributes in a single syscall. - Backward and forward compatible. - Should be reasobably easy to use. - Reduce the kernel code size for introducing new query types. It's implemented as a new registration opcode IORING_REGISTER_QUERY. The user passes one or more query strutctures linked together, each represented by struct io_uring_query_hdr. The header stores common control fields needed for processing and points to query type specific information. The header contains - The query type - The result field, which on return contains the error code for the query - Pointer to the query type specific information - The size of the query structure. The kernel will only populate up to the size, which helps with backward compatibility. The kernel can also reduce the size, so if the current kernel is older than the inteface the user tries to use, it'll get only the supported bits. - next_entry field is used to chain multiple queries. Apart from common registeration syscall failures, it can only immediately return an error code in case when the headers are incorrect or any other addresses and invalid. That usually mean that the userspace doesn't use the API right and should be corrected. All query type specific errors are returned in the header's result field. As an example, the patch adds a single query type for now, i.e. IO_URING_QUERY_OPCODES, which tells what register / request / etc. opcodes are supported, but there are particular plans to extend it. Note: there is a request probing interface via IORING_REGISTER_PROBE, but it's a mess. It requires the user to create a ring first, it only works for requests, and requires dynamic allocations.

2025-07-02io_uring/mock: add trivial poll handlerPavel Begunkov1-0/+2
Add a flag that enables polling on the mock file. For now it's trivially says that there is always data available, it'll be extended in the future.

2025-07-02io_uring/mock: support for async read/writePavel Begunkov1-1/+3
Let the user to specify a delay to read/write request. io_uring will start a timer, return -EIOCBQUEUED and complete the request asynchronously after the delay pass.

2025-07-02io_uring/mock: allow to choose FMODE_NOWAITPavel Begunkov1-0/+5
Add an option to choose whether the file supports FMODE_NOWAIT, that changes the execution path io_uring request takes.

2025-07-02io_uring/mock: add cmd using vectored regbufsPavel Begunkov1-0/+14
There is a command api allowing to import vectored registered buffers, add a new mock command that uses the feature and simply copies the specified registered buffer into user space or vice versa.

2025-07-02io_uring/mock: add basic infra for test mock filesPavel Begunkov1-0/+22
io_uring commands provide an ioctl style interface for files to implement file specific operations. io_uring provides many features and advanced api to commands, and it's getting hard to test as it requires specific files/devices. Add basic infrastucture for creating special mock files that will be implementing the cmd api and using various io_uring features we want to test. It'll also be useful to test some more obscure read/write/polling edge cases in the future.
