Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] io_uring: add support for IORING_OP_GETDENTS
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2021 17:48:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

(These patches depend on IORING_OP_MKDIRAT going in first -- see
the changelog entry for v2 below.)

These patches add support for IORING_OP_GETDENTS, which is a new io_uring
opcode that more or less does an lseek(sqe->fd, sqe->off, SEEK_SET)
followed by a getdents64(sqe->fd, (void *)sqe->addr, sqe->len).

A dumb test program which recursively scans through a directory tree
and prints the names of all directories and files it encounters along
the way is available here:

Changes since v3 RFC:

- Made locking in io_getdents() unconditional, as the prior
  optimization was racy.  (Pointed out by Pavel Begunkov.)

- Rebase onto for-5.13/io_uring as of 2021/03/12 plus a manually
  applied version of the mkdirat patch.

Changes since v2 RFC:

- Rebase onto io_uring-2021-02-17 plus a manually applied version of
  the mkdirat patch.  The latter is needed because userland (liburing)
  has already merged the opcode for IORING_OP_MKDIRAT (in commit
  "io_uring.h: 5.12 pending kernel sync") while this opcode isn't in
  the kernel yet (as of io_uring-2021-02-17), and this means that this
  can't be merged until IORING_OP_MKDIRAT is merged.

- Adapt to changes made in "io_uring: replace force_nonblock with flags"
  that are in io_uring-2021-02-17.

Changes since v1 RFC:

- Drop the trailing '64' from IORING_OP_GETDENTS64 (suggested by
  Matthew Wilcox).

- Instead of requiring that sqe->off be zero, use this field to pass
  in a directory offset to start reading from.  For the first
  IORING_OP_GETDENTS call on a directory, this can be set to zero,
  and for subsequent calls, it can be set to the ->d_off field of
  the last struct linux_dirent64 returned by the previous call.
