Hello Jens,

This patch tries to address limitation from in-tree ublk zero copy:

- one IO needs two extra uring_cmd for register/unregister bvec buffer, not
  efficient

- introduced dependency on the two uring_cmd, so the buffer consumer has to
linked with the two uring_cmd, hard to use & less efficient

This patchset adds feature UBLK_F_AUTO_BUF_REG:

- register request buffer automatically before delivering io command to ublk server

- unregister request buffer automatically when completing the request

- both io_uring context and buffer index can be specified from ublk
  uring_cmd header

With this way, 'fio/t/io_uring -p0 /dev/ublkb0' shows that IOPS is improved
by 50% compared with F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY in my test VM.

kernel selftests are added for covering both function & stress test.

Please review & comment!

Thanks,
Ming

Ming Lei (7):
  io_uring: add 'struct io_buf_data' for register/unregister bvec buffer
  io_uring: add helper __io_buffer_[un]register_bvec
  io_uring: support to register bvec buffer to specified io_uring
  ublk: convert to refcount_t
  ublk: prepare for supporting to register request buffer automatically
  ublk: register buffer to specified io_uring & buf index via
    UBLK_F_AUTO_BUF_REG
  selftests: ublk: support UBLK_F_AUTO_BUF_REG
