<title>io_uring: introduce io_cache_free() helper</title>

<id>0d83b8a9f180436a84fbdeb575696b0c3ae0ac0c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a helper function io_cache_free() that returns an allocation to a
io_alloc_cache, falling back on kfree() if the io_alloc_cache is full.
This is the inverse of io_cache_alloc(), which takes an allocation from
an io_alloc_cache and falls back on kmalloc() if the cache is empty.

Convert 4 callers to use the helper.

<title>io_uring: get rid of alloc cache init_once handling</title>

init_once is called when an object doesn't come from the cache, and
hence needs initial clearing of certain members. While the whole
struct could get cleared by memset() in that case, a few of the cache
members are large enough that this may cause unnecessary overhead if
the caches used aren't large enough to satisfy the workload. For those
cases, some churn of kmalloc+kfree is to be expected.

Ensure that the 3 users that need clearing put the members they need
cleared at the start of the struct, and wrap the rest of the struct in
a struct group so the offset is known.

While at it, improve the interaction with KASAN such that when/if
KASAN writes to members inside the struct that should be retained over
caching, it won't trip over itself. For rw and net, the retaining of
the iovec over caching is disabled if KASAN is enabled. A helper will
free and clear those members in that case.

<title>io_uring: Fold allocation into alloc_cache helper</title>

<content type='text'>
The allocation paths that use alloc_cache duplicate the same code
pattern, sometimes in a quite convoluted way.  Fold the allocation into
the cache code itself, making it just an allocator function, and keeping
the cache policy invisible to callers.  Another justification for doing
this, beyond code simplicity, is that it makes it trivial to test the
impact of disabling the cache and using slab directly, which I've used
for slab improvement experiments.

One relevant detail is that we provide a callback to optionally
initialize memory only when we actually reach slab.  This allows us to
avoid blindly executing the allocation with GFP_ZERO and only clean
fields when they matter.

Currently lists are being used to manage this, but best practice is
usually to have these in an array instead as that it cheaper to manage.

Outside of that detail, games are also played with KASAN as the list
is inside the cached entry itself.

Finally, all users of this need a struct io_cache_entry embedded in
their struct, which is union'ized with something else in there that
isn't used across the free -&gt; realloc cycle.

Get rid of all of that, and simply have it be an array. This will not
change the memory used, as we're just trading an 8-byte member entry
for the per-elem array size.

This reduces the overhead of the recycled allocations, and it reduces
the amount of code code needed to support recycling to about half of
what it currently is.
