      io-wq: provide a way to limit max number of workers · 2e480058
      Jens Axboe authored
      io-wq divides work into two categories:
      
      1) Work that completes in a bounded time, like reading from a regular file
         or a block device. This type of work is limited based on the size of
         the SQ ring.
      
      2) Work that may never complete, we call this unbounded work. The amount
         of workers here is just limited by RLIMIT_NPROC.
      
      For various uses cases, it's handy to have the kernel limit the maximum
      amount of pending workers for both categories. Provide a way to do with
      with a new IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS operation.
      
      IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS takes an array of two integers and sets
      the max worker count to what is being passed in for each category. The
      old values are returned into that same array. If 0 is being passed in for
      either category, it simply returns the current value.
      
      The value is capped at RLIMIT_NPROC. This actually isn't that important
      as it's more of a hint, if we're exceeding the value then our attempt
      to fork a new worker will fail. This happens naturally already if more
      than one node is in the system, as these values are per-node internally
      for io-wq.
