    io_uring: add sync cancelation API through io_uring_register() · 78a861b9
    Jens Axboe authored
    The io_uring cancelation API is async, like any other API that we expose
    there. For the case of finding a request to cancel, or not finding one,
    it is fully sync in that when submission returns, the CQE for both the
    cancelation request and the targeted request have been posted to the
    CQ ring.
    
    However, if the targeted work is being executed by io-wq, the API can
    only start the act of canceling it. This makes it difficult to use in
    some circumstances, as the caller then has to wait for the CQEs to come
    in and match on the same cancelation data there.
    
    Provide a IORING_REGISTER_SYNC_CANCEL command for io_uring_register()
    that does sync cancelations, always. For the io-wq case, it'll wait
    for the cancelation to come in before returning. The only expected
    returns from this API is:
    
    0		Request found and canceled fine.
    > 0		Requests found and canceled. Only happens if asked to
    		cancel multiple requests, and if the work wasn't in
    		progress.
    -ENOENT		Request not found.
    -ETIME		A timeout on the operation was requested, but the timeout
    		expired before we could cancel.
    
    and we won't get -EALREADY via this API.
    
    If the timeout value passed in is -1 (tv_sec and tv_nsec), then that
    means that no timeout is requested. Otherwise, the timespec passed in
    is the amount of time the sync cancel will wait for a successful
    cancelation.
