Subject: [PATCH v5 3/5] io_uring/bpf-ops: add kfunc helpers
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 14:32:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1ac15fa8ce52a0ebf28555c8353eabf199d1d49a.1770818588.git.asml.silence@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770818588.git.asml.silence@gmail.com>
Add two kfuncs that should cover most of the needs:
1. bpf_io_uring_submit_sqes(), which allows to submit io_uring requests.
It mirrors the normal user space submission path and follows all
related io_uring_enter(2) rules. i.e. SQEs are taken from the SQ
according to head/tail values. In case of IORING_SETUP_SQ_REWIND,
it'll submit first N entries.
2. bpf_io_uring_get_region() returns a pointer to the specified region,
where io_uring regions are kernel-userspace shared chunks of memory.
It takes the size as an argument, which should be a load time
constant. There are 3 types of regions:
- IOU_REGION_SQ returns the submission queue.
- IOU_REGION_CQ stores the CQ, SQ/CQ headers and the sqarray. In
other words, it gives same memory that would normally be mmap'ed
with IORING_FEAT_SINGLE_MMAP enabled IORING_OFF_SQ_RING.
- IOU_REGION_MEM represents the memory / parameter region. It can be
used to store request indirect parameters and for kernel - user
communication.
It intentionally provides a thin but flexible API and expects BPF
programs to implement CQ/SQ header parsing, CQ walking, etc. That
mirrors how the normal user space works with rings and should help
to minimise kernel / kfunc helpers changes while introducing new generic
io_uring features.
