      io_uring: support CLOCK_BOOTTIME/REALTIME for timeouts · 50c1df2b
      Jens Axboe authored
      Certain use cases want to use CLOCK_BOOTTIME or CLOCK_REALTIME rather than
      CLOCK_MONOTONIC, instead of the default CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
      
      Add an IORING_TIMEOUT_BOOTTIME and IORING_TIMEOUT_REALTIME flag that
      allows timeouts and linked timeouts to use the selected clock source.
      
      Only one clock source may be selected, and we -EINVAL the request if more
      than one is given. If neither BOOTIME nor REALTIME are selected, the
      previous default of MONOTONIC is used.

      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.
