io_uring: don't pass restart error codes to userspace
-ERESTARTSYS and friends are instructions for the system call exit code, which either restarts the call or turns them into -EINTR. They are not supposed to be seen by applications. A request isn't a system call, nobody looks at what it returns before that is put into a CQE. The read/write and the networking opcodes convert these codes to -EINTR by hand. The others don't. An io-wq worker that is blocked in the open of a FIFO, a tty or some other device, or in a splice from an empty pipe, and that gets interrupted because the request is cancelled, completes it with -512: IORING_OP_OPENAT, IOSQE_ASYNC // FIFO without a writer IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL // -EALREADY, worker is signalled CQE of the open: res == -512 There are more candidates, like whatever a file system or driver returns from ->flush(), ->fsync(), ->fallocate() or ->uring_cmd(), or breaking a lease or delegation. Take care of it in io_issue_sqe(), which all of them go through. The helper is moved from rw.c as is. The cost is a compare and a branch that is not taken per request.
