    io_uring: add IORING_OP_WAITID support · f31ecf67
    Jens Axboe authored
    This adds support for an async version of waitid(2), in a fully async
    version. If an event isn't immediately available, wait for a callback
    to trigger a retry.
    
    The format of the sqe is as follows:
    
    sqe->len		The 'which', the idtype being queried/waited for.
    sqe->fd			The 'pid' (or id) being waited for.
    sqe->file_index		The 'options' being set.
    sqe->addr2		A pointer to siginfo_t, if any, being filled in.
    
    buf_index, add3, and waitid_flags are reserved/unused for now.
    waitid_flags will be used for options for this request type. One
    interesting use case may be to add multi-shot support, so that the
    request stays armed and posts a notification every time a monitored
    process state change occurs.
    
    Note that this does not support rusage, on Arnd's recommendation.
    
    See the waitid(2) man page for details on the arguments.
