io_uring: add support for registering ring file descriptors
Lots of workloads use multiple threads, in which case the file table is
shared between them. This makes getting and putting the ring file
descriptor for each io_uring_enter(2) system call more expensive, as it
involves an atomic get and put for each call.
Similarly to how we allow registering normal file descriptors to avoid
this overhead, add support for an io_uring_register(2) API that allows
to register the ring fds themselves:
1) IORING_REGISTER_RING_FDS - takes an array of io_uring_rsrc_update
structs, and registers them with the task.
2) IORING_UNREGISTER_RING_FDS - takes an array of io_uring_src_update
structs, and unregisters them.
When a ring fd is registered, it is internally represented by an offset.
This offset is returned to the application, and the application then
uses this offset and sets IORING_ENTER_REGISTERED_RING for the
io_uring_enter(2) system call. This works just like using a registered
file descriptor, rather than a real one, in an SQE, where
IOSQE_FIXED_FILE gets set to tell io_uring that we're using an internal
offset/descriptor rather than a real file descriptor.
In initial testing, this provides a nice bump in performance for
threaded applications in real world cases where the batch count (eg
number of requests submitted per io_uring_enter(2) invocation) is low.
In a microbenchmark, submitting NOP requests, we see the following
increases in performance:

blk-crypto: show crypto capabilities in sysfs
block: don't delete queue kobject before its children
block: simplify calling convention of elv_unregister_queue()
Userspace can use these new files to decide what encryption settings to
use, or whether to use inline encryption at all. This also brings the
crypto capabilities in line with the other queue properties, which are
already discoverable via the queue directory in sysfs.
Design notes:
- Place the new files in a new subdirectory "crypto" to group them
together and to avoid complicating the main "queue" directory. This
also makes it possible to replace "crypto" with a symlink later if
we ever make the blk_crypto_profiles into real kobjects (see below).
- It was necessary to define a new kobject that corresponds to the
crypto subdirectory. For now, this kobject just contains a pointer
to the blk_crypto_profile. Note that multiple queues (and hence
multiple such kobjects) may refer to the same blk_crypto_profile.
An alternative design would more closely match the current kernel
data structures: the blk_crypto_profile could be a kobject itself,
located directly under the host controller device's kobject, while
/sys/block/$disk/queue/crypto would be a symlink to it.
I decided not to do that for now because it would require a lot more
changes, such as no longer embedding blk_crypto_profile in other
structures, and also because I'm not sure we can rule out moving the
crypto capabilities into 'struct queue_limits' in the future. (Even
if multiple queues share the same crypto engine, maybe the supported
data unit sizes could differ due to other queue properties.) It
would also still be possible to switch to that design later without
breaking userspace, by replacing the directory with a symlink.
- Use "max_dun_bits" instead of "max_dun_bytes". Currently, the
kernel internally stores this value in bytes, but that's an
implementation detail. It probably makes more sense to talk about
this value in bits, and choosing bits is more future-proof.
- "modes" is a sub-subdirectory, since there may be multiple supported
crypto modes, sysfs is supposed to have one value per file, and it
makes sense to group all the mode files together.
- Each mode had to be named. The crypto API names like "xts(aes)" are
not appropriate because they don't specify the key size. Therefore,
I assigned new names. The exact names chosen are arbitrary, but
they happen to match the names used in log messages in fs/crypto/.
- The "num_keyslots" file is a bit different from the others in that
it is only useful to know for performance reasons. However, it's
included as it can still be useful. For example, a user might not
want to use inline encryption if there aren't very many keyslots.

nvme: expose cntrltype and dctype through sysfs
TP8010 introduces the Discovery Controller Type attribute (dctype).
The dctype is returned in the response to the Identify command. This
patch exposes the dctype through the sysfs. Since the dctype depends on
the Controller Type (cntrltype), another attribute of the Identify
response, the patch also exposes the cntrltype as well. The dctype will
only be displayed for discovery controllers.
A note about the naming of this attribute:
Although TP8010 calls this attribute the Discovery Controller Type,
note that the dctype is now part of the response to the Identify
command for all controller types. I/O, Discovery, and Admin controllers
all share the same Identify response PDU structure. Non-discovery
controllers as well as pre-TP8010 discovery controllers will continue
to set this field to 0 (which has always been the default for reserved
bytes). Per TP8010, the value 0 now means "Discovery controller type is
not reported" instead of "Reserved". One could argue that this
definition is correct even for non-discovery controllers, and by
extension, exposing it in the sysfs for non-discovery controllers is
appropriate.

user-space apps need to be informed so that they can take proper

register with a discovery controller (DC). The DIM PDU is sent from
user-space. The DIM PDU must be sent every time a connection is
established with a DC. Therefore, the kernel must tell user-space apps
when connection is restored so that registration can happen.

io-uring: Make statx API stable
One of the key architectual tenets is to keep the parameters for
io-uring stable. After the call has been submitted, its value can
be changed. Unfortunaltely this is not the case for the current statx
implementation.
IO-Uring change:
This changes replaces the const char * filename pointer in the io_statx
structure with a struct filename *. In addition it also creates the
filename object during the prepare phase.
With this change, the opcode also needs to invoke cleanup, so the
filename object gets freed after processing the request.
fs change:
This replaces the const char* __user filename parameter in the two
functions do_statx and vfs_statx with a struct filename *. In addition
to be able to correctly construct a filename object a new helper
function getname_statx_lookup_flags is introduced. The function makes
sure that do_statx and vfs_statx is invoked with the correct lookup flags.

bnx2x: fix driver load from initrd
Commit b7a49f73059f ("bnx2x: Utilize firmware 7.13.21.0") added
new firmware support in the driver with maintaining older firmware
compatibility. However, older firmware was not added in MODULE_FIRMWARE()
which caused missing firmware files in initrd image leading to driver load
failure from initrd. This patch adds MODULE_FIRMWARE() for older firmware
version to have firmware files included in initrd.
The reasoning in the commit was wrong - the code expected to setup the
watch even if 'hotplug-status' didn't exist. In fact, it relied on the
watch being fired the first time - to check if maybe 'hotplug-status' is
already set to 'connected'. Not registering a watch for non-existing
path (which is the case if hotplug script hasn't been executed yet),
made the backend not waiting for the hotplug script to execute. This in
turns, made the netfront think the interface is fully operational, while
in fact it was not (the vif interface on xen-netback side might not be
configured yet).
This was a workaround for 'hotplug-status' erroneously being removed.
But since that is reverted now, the workaround is not necessary either.
