Subject: [RFC 0/4] open/accept directly into io_uring fixed file table

Implement an old idea allowing open/accept io_uring requests to register
a newly created file as a io_uring's fixed file instead of placing it
into a task's file table. The switching is encoded in io_uring's SQEs
by setting sqe->buf_index/file_index, so restricted to 2^16-1. Don't
think we need more, but may be a good idea to scrap u32 somewhere
instead.

From the net side only needs a function doing __sys_accept4_file()
but not installing fd, see 2/4.

Only RFC for now, the new functionality is tested only for open yet.
I hope we can remember the author of the idea to add attribution.

Pavel Begunkov (4):
io_uring: allow open directly into fixed fd table
net: add an accept helper not installing fd
io_uring: hand code io_accept()' fd installing
io_uring: accept directly into fixed file table

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] io_uring: allow open directly into fixed fd table

Instead of opening a file into a process's file table as usual and then
registering the fd within io_uring, we can skip the first step and place
it directly into io_uring's fixed file table. Add support for that for
both OPENAT opcodes.

The behaviour is controlled by setting sqe->file_index, where 0 implies
the old behaviour, and non-0 values is translated into index
(file_index-1). The field is u16, hence sets a limit on how many slots
it covers.

Indeed! I honestly forget the details, as some of it is implementation
detail. I think Josh was the first to suggest a private fd table could
be used, but that's mostly implementation detail as the point was to be
able to know which fd would be assigned.

But I think we're all in agreement here, it's a nifty feature :-)

Great feature! I believe this one leverages linked sqes, we may need to
remind users to be careful when they use this feature in shared sqthread
mode since linked sqes may be splited.
