[PATCH v2 0/2] io_uring/net: support registered buffer for plain send and recv

From: Ming Lei <[email protected]>

Hi,

This series wires IORING_RECVSEND_FIXED_BUF into the plain IORING_OP_SEND
and IORING_OP_RECV paths; so far the flag has only been honoured on the
SEND_ZC path.

Motivation: targets such as ublk's NBD backend want to push/pull I/O data
directly to/from an io_uring registered buffer over a plain send/recv on a
TCP socket, avoiding the per-I/O import and page pinning while keeping
single-CQE completion. The SEND_ZC path is left untouched.

Patch 1 is the kernel change. Patch 2 adds a liburing test and is meant for
the liburing tree.

Changes since v1:
 - Reject IORING_SEND_VECTORIZED on the plain IORING_OP_SEND fixed-buffer
   path: the plain io_send() issue path imports a single registered buffer
   and has no vectorized-regbuf import step, so the combination silently
   did nothing before. (Jens Axboe)
 - Add the matching send-vectorized negative case to the liburing test.
 - Clarify in the commit log that SEND_ZC is unaffected.
