Right, that's all I mean, special in the sense that it isn't persistent. Nothing special about it otherwise. Maybe "separate table from buf_table" is a more accurate way to describe it. >> The initial POC did install it into a table, it's just a one-slot table, > > By "table" I actually mean anything that survives beyond the current > syscall / submission and potentially can be used by requests submitted > with another syscall. Obviously there's nothing special about the above mentioned table in the sense that it's a normal table, it just doesn't survive beyond the current submission. The reason why I like that approach is that it doesn't leave potentially iffy data in a table beyond that submission. If we don't own this data, it's merely borrowed from someone else, then special case must be taken around it. >> io_submit_state.

If you leave it in the table, then you can no longer rely on the final put being the callback driver. Maybe this is fine, but then it needs some other mechanism for this. >> latency if it uses one of these bufs for eg a read on a pipe that never >> gets any data, but the data will remain valid regardless.

I did consider that idea too, mainly from the perspective of then not needing any kind of special OP or OP support to grab one of these buffers, it'd just use the normal table but in a separate range. Doesn't feel super clean, and does require some odd setup. Realistically, applications probabably use one or the other and not combined, so perhaps it's fine and the range is just the normal range. If they do mix the two, then yeah they would want to use separate ranges for them. Honestly don't care too deeply about that implementation detail, I care more about having these buffers be io_rsrc_node and using the general infrastructure for them. If we have to add IORING_RSRC_KBUFFER for them and a callback + data field to io_rsrc_node, that still a much better approach than having some other intermediate type which basically does the same thing, except it needs new fields to store it and new helpers to alloc/put it. -- Jens Axboe
