[PATCH v4 00/13] io_uring: buffer registration enhancements

[Bijan Mottahedeh <bijan.mottahedeh@oracle.com>]

v4:

- address v3 comments (TBD REGISTER_BUFFERS)
- rebase

v3:

- batch file->rsrc renames into a signle patch when possible
- fix other review changes from v2
- fix checkpatch warnings

v2:

- drop readv/writev with fixed buffers patch
- handle ref_nodes both both files/buffers with a single ref_list
- make file/buffer handling more unified

This patchset implements a set of enhancements to buffer registration
consistent with existing file registration functionality:

- buffer registration updates		IORING_REGISTER_BUFFERS_UPDATE
					IORING_OP_BUFFERS_UPDATE

- buffer registration sharing		IORING_SETUP_SHARE_BUF
					IORING_SETUP_ATTACH_BUF

I have kept the original patchset unchanged for the most part to
facilitate reviewing and so this set adds a number of additional patches
mostly making file/buffer handling more unified.

Patch 1-2 modularize existing buffer registration code.

Patch 3-7 generalize fixed_file functionality to fixed_rsrc.

Patch 8 applies fixed_rsrc functionality for fixed buffers support.

Patch 9-10 generalize files_update functionality to rsrc_update.

Patch 11 implements buffer registration update, and introduces
IORING_REGISTER_BUFFERS_UPDATE and IORING_OP_BUFFERS_UPDATE, consistent
with file registration update.

Patch 12 generalizes fixed resource allocation 

Patch 13 implements buffer sharing among multiple rings; it works as follows:

- A new ring, A,  is setup. Since no buffers have been registered, the
  registered buffer state is an empty set, Z. That's different from the
  NULL state in current implementation.

- Ring B is setup, attaching to Ring A. It's also attaching to it's
  buffer registrations, now we have two references to the same empty
  set, Z.

- Ring A registers buffers into set Z, which is no longer empty.

- Ring B sees this immediately, since it's already sharing that set.

Testing

I have used liburing file-{register,update} tests as models for
buffer-{register,update,share}, tests and they run ok.

TBD

- I tried to use a single opcode for files/buffers but ran into an
issue since work_flags is different for files/buffers.  This should
be ok for the most part since req->work.flags is ultimately examined;
however, there are place where io_op_defs[opcode].work_flags is examined
directly, and I wasn't sure what would the best way to handle that.

- Need to still address Pavel's comments about deadlocks. I figure
to send out the set anyway since this is a last patch and may even be
handled separately.
