[PATCH 0/2] Introduce IORING_OP_MMAP

[Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@suse.de>]

Hi,

There's been a few requests over time for supporting mmap(2) over
io_uring. The reasoning are twofold: 1) serving as base for batching
multiple mappings in a single operation 2) supporting mmap of fixed
files.

Since mmap can operate on either anonymous memory and file descriptors,
patch 1 adds support for optional fds in io_uring commands.  Patch 2
implements the mmap operation itself.

Note this patchset doesn't do any kind of smarter batching in MM.  While
we can potentially do some interesting optimizations already, like
holding the MM write lock instead of reacquiring it for each mapping, I
wanted to focus on the API discussion first.  This is left as future
work.

liburing support, including testcases, will be sent shortly to the list,
but can also be found at:
