Subject: [PATCH v6 0/5] io_uring: remove ring quiesce in io_uring_register

Ring quiesce is currently used for registering/unregistering eventfds,
registering restrictions and enabling rings.

For opcodes relating to registering/unregistering eventfds, ring quiesce
can be avoided by creating a new RCU data structure (io_ev_fd) as part
of io_ring_ctx that holds the eventfd_ctx, with reads to the structure
protected by rcu_read_lock and writes (register/unregister calls)
protected by a mutex.

With the above approach ring quiesce can be avoided which is much more
expensive then using RCU lock. On the system tested, io_uring_reigster with
IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD takes less than 1ms with RCU lock, compared to 15ms
before with ring quiesce.

IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED prevents submitting requests and
so there will be no requests until IORING_REGISTER_ENABLE_RINGS
is called. And IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS works only before
IORING_REGISTER_ENABLE_RINGS is called. Hence ring quiesce is
not needed for these opcodes.

v5->v6:
- Split removing ring quiesce completely from io_uring_register into
2 patches (Pavel Begunkov)
- Removed extra mutex while registering/unregistering eventfd as uring_lock
can be used (Pavel Begunkov)
- Move setting ctx->evfd to NULL from io_eventfd_put to before call_rcu
(Pavel Begunkov)

v4->v5:
- Remove ring quiesce completely from io_uring_register (Pavel Begunkov)
- Replaced rcu_barrier with unregistering flag (Jens Axboe)
- Created a faster check for ctx->io_ev_fd in io_eventfd_signal and cleaned up
io_eventfd_unregister (Jens Axboe)

v3->v4:
- Switch back to call_rcu and use rcu_barrier incase io_eventfd_register fails
to make sure all rcu callbacks have finished.

v2->v3:
- Switched to using synchronize_rcu from call_rcu in io_eventfd_unregister.

v1->v2:
- Added patch to remove eventfd from tracepoint (Patch 1) (Jens Axboe)
- Made the code of io_should_trigger_evfd as part of io_eventfd_signal (Jens Axboe)

Usama Arif (5):
  io_uring: remove trace for eventfd
  io_uring: avoid ring quiesce while registering/unregistering eventfd
  io_uring: avoid ring quiesce while registering async eventfd
  io_uring: avoid ring quiesce while registering restrictions and
    enabling rings
  io_uring: remove ring quiesce for io_uring_register
