There is a report of io_estimate_bvec_size() truncating the calculated
number of segments that leads to corruption issues. Check it doesn't
overflow "int"s used later. Rough but simple, can be improved on top.

There is a better way to handle the problem IORING_REGISTER_ZCRX_REFILL
solves. The uapi can also be slightly adjusted to accommodate future
extensions. Remove the feature for now, it'll be reworked for the next

<title>io_uring: fix buffer auto-commit for multishot uring_cmd</title>

Commit 620a50c92700 ("io_uring: uring_cmd: add multishot support") added
multishot uring_cmd support with explicit buffer upfront commit via
io_uring_mshot_cmd_post_cqe(). However, the buffer selection path in
io_ring_buffer_select() was auto-committing buffers for non-pollable files,
which conflicts with uring_cmd's explicit upfront commit model.

This way consumes the whole selected buffer immediately, and causes
failure on the following buffer selection.

Fix this by checking uring_cmd to identify operations that handle buffer
commit explicitly, and skip auto-commit for these operations.

<title>io_uring/sqpoll: be smarter on when to update the stime usage</title>

The current approach is a bit naive, and hence calls the time querying
way too often. Only start the "doing work" timer when there's actual
work to do, and then use that information to terminate (and account) the
work time once done. This greatly reduces the frequency of these calls,
when they cannot have changed anyway.

Running a basic random reader that is setup to use SQPOLL, a profile
before this change shows these as the top cycle consumers:

+   32.60%  iou-sqp-1074  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] thread_group_cputime_adjusted

getrusage() does a lot more than what the SQPOLL accounting needs, the
latter only cares about (and uses) the stime. Rather than do a full
RUSAGE_SELF summation, just query the used stime instead.

The negation operator is incorrectly placed outside the unlikely()
macro:

    if (!unlikely(iwa))

This inverts the compiler branch prediction hint, marking the NULL case
as likely instead of unlikely. The intent is to indicate that allocation
failures are rare, consistent with common kernel patterns.

 Moving the negation inside unlikely():

    if (unlikely(!iwa))

Both the read and write side use kiocb_done() to finish a request, and
kiocb_done() will call io_put_kbuf() in case a provided buffer was used
for the request. Provided buffers are not supported for writes, hence
NULL is being passed in. This normally works fine, as io_put_kbuf()
won't actually use the value unless REQ_F_BUFFER_RING or
REQ_F_BUFFER_SELECTED is set in the request flags. But depending on
compiler (or whether or not CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is set), that
may be done even though the value is never used. This will then cause a
NULL pointer dereference.

Make it a bit more obvious and check for a NULL io_br_sel, and don't
even bother calling io_put_kbuf() for that case.
