[PATCH v4 0/3] Introduce getsockname io_uring_cmd

[Gabriel Krisman Bertazi]

Since V3:
  - Fix passing of 'peer' in io_uring side.
Since V2:
  - Move sockaddr_storage to do_sockname
Since V1:
  - minor style fixes
  - Resend with (more) maintainers cc'ed
  - rebased to axboe/for-next.

This feature has been requested a few times in the liburing repository
and Discord channels, such as in [1,2].  If anything, it also helps
solve a long standing issue in the bind-listen test that results in
occasional test failures.

The patchset is divided in three parts: Patch 1 merges the getpeername
and getsockname implementation in the network layer, making further
patches easier; Patch 2 splits out a helper used by io_uring, like done
for other network commands; Finally, patch 3 plumbs the new command in
io_uring.

The syscall path was tested by booting a Linux distro, which does all
sorts of getsockname/getpeername syscalls.  The io_uring side was tested
with a couple of new liburing subtests available at:

   https://github.com/krisman/liburing.git -b socket

Based on top of Jens' for-next.

[PATCH v4 1/3] socket: Unify getsockname and getpeername implementation

[Gabriel Krisman Bertazi]

They are already implemented by the same get_name hook in the protocol
level.  Bring the unification one level up to reduce code duplication
in preparation to supporting these as io_uring operations.

[PATCH v4 2/3] socket: Split out a getsockname helper for io_uring

[Gabriel Krisman Bertazi]

Similar to getsockopt, split out a helper to check security and issue
the operation from the main handler that can be used by io_uring.

[PATCH v4 3/3] io_uring: Introduce getsockname io_uring cmd

[Gabriel Krisman Bertazi]

Introduce a socket-specific io_uring_cmd to support
getsockname/getpeername via io_uring.  I made this an io_uring_cmd
instead of a new operation to avoid polluting the command namespace with
what is exclusively a socket operation.  In addition, since we don't
need to conform to existing interfaces, this merges the
getsockname/getpeername in a single operation, since the implementation
is pretty much the same.

This has been frequently requested, for instance at [1] and more
recently in the project Discord channel. The main use-case is to support
fixed socket file descriptors.

Missing READ_ONCE() for this one. But I can just amend that, pretty
trivial.

Outside of that, this looks good to me. Bigger question is how to stage
this, in terms of the two networking patches. Jakub?
