The goal is to be able to natively use dma-buf in the read-write / IO
path. This patch adds basic building blocks serving as a glue and API
between drivers and upper layer subsystems providing the uAPI. Later
patches implement it for NVMe raw block devices and expose it to the
user space via io_uring.
There are two main objects. struct dma_buf_io_ctx and struct
dma_buf_io_map. The ctx is used during initial registration and serves
as an interface between the upper layer user like io_uring and to the
importer subsystem / driver. The map represents the actual dma map
established for the target device[s] with dma_buf_map_attachment() and
stored in a device specific format. The context is created via a new
file operation ->init_dma_buf_io_ctx.
The ctx-map separation exists to support map invalidation (see
dma_buf_io_invalidate_mappings()). A ctx can create
multiple maps during its lifetime, but there can only be no more than
one (active) map attached to it. Invalidation drops the active map
if present, and the next map will only be attempted to be created
once there is a new request that wants to use the dma-buf IO ctx.
The primary task of the dma_buf_io_map object is to count requests
using it and to wait for their completion when we want to destroy the
DMA map. Invalidation is delayed by inserting a dma fence, which is
signaled when all flight requests are completed.
[un]mapping and any work with dma addresses is delegated to the
importer driver via an ops table stored in the ctx, see struct
dma_buf_io_ops. Only the target driver / subsystem knows about devices
it wants to use the dma-buf with, especially in case of multi-device
filesystems or stacking in the future.

The method name feels a bit convoluted, but given all the
previous discussions I don't care too strongly. I'll leave
the dma-buf side review to those who understand it.

I assume you mean this:
+ int (*init_dma_buf_io_ctx)(struct file *, struct dma_buf_io_ctx *);
I agree, and all dma_buf_io_[ctx,map] look clunky, but I don't
see what I can drop out of the name. Suggestions? Maybe I at least
should make the fs op sth like "register_dma_buf".

Introduce a new iterator type for dmabuf maps. The map in an opaque
object with internals and format specific to the subsystem / driver, and
only it can use that subsystem / driver for issuing IO. The task of the
middle layers is to pass the map / iterator further down, maybe doing
basic splitting and length checking. The iterator can only be used by
operations of the file the associated map was created for.

There was a lot of shuffling, so I dropped the tag after a 10th
amendment to the patch as I didn't know whether you want to keep it.
I'll keep it all for v5 unless anything conceptual changes.

struct bvec_iter::bi_bvec_done is used an offset in the current bvec,
let's rename it accordingly for better clarity. We're also going to use
it for non-bvec based iteration, so drop the "bvec" part.

Extend bio_no_advance_iter() iteration to also increment the offset.
It's not currently needed because the currently listed request types
don't have a buffer, but will be useful once we add bios backed by
dma-buf, which don't have a bvec but work with a single range.

Premapped buffers don't require a generic bio_vec since these have
already been dma mapped. Repurpose the bi_io_vec space to strore dmabuf
maps as they are mutually exclusive.

No need for the braces. But given that these are the fields why
even bother doing both sides and not rely on the union?

This seems to be largely copied from bio_iov_bvec_set, but misses
the REQ_CLONE there that we should probably set as well to indicate
that the data descriptor is not owned (although not setting it is
not really a bug).
What about merging these two into a single and easier to use interface
like this:

Got it,

Compiles into the same, but comparing to a comment makes
the compiler to check it for us if anything happens.
Noticed static_assert() below, that works as well, though I
think the current version is nicer b/c it preserves assignment
types for the compiler. Strict aliasing is obviously not a
thing, so don't have a strong opinion.

No opinion on this, I can add it, probably as another prep patch.

Enable BIO_DMABUF_MAP backed requests. It creates a prp list for the
dmabuf when it's mapped, which is then used to initialise requests.

Please stick to two-tab indents for function declaration continuation
for the nvme code to keep the code easy to maintain.

This should be good old #ifdef. Same in a few other places over
the series.
Modulo these minor nits the patch looks good.

The naming is a bit confusing (and me passing the iter to
nvme_pci_sgl_set_data is probably at faul for that). So maybe
spin out a prep patch to rename the old nvme_pci_sgl_set_data
to nvme_pci_dma_iter_set_sgl or so, and then add the new one
as nvme_pci_sgl_set_data (as before the dma_iter conversion).

This is a really good example why the aligning to the opening braces
produces totally unreadble code..
But I also don't understand what the use case for this function
is to start with. struct sg_table tells us how many segments
exist on the DMA side in the nents member, which should be just
fine for the SGL threshold calculation.

Given that the block layer enforced data in rw/command and the

These can't be false on the first iteration, so maybe turn this into
a do {} while loop?

Why do we need this merging? dma_map_sg should have already done

Various overly long lines. Please factor out a helper for the
decisions to use sgl vs not instead of open coding it here.

Thanks for the detailed review! Will split the rename into a prep patch.

sg_table->nents covers the entire exported buffer (<=1GiB), while a
request only covers a subrange[bi_offset, bi_offset+payload). Using
nents would overcount the request's segments.

A dmabuf bio reports nsegs=1 (bio_split_io_at) to the block layer, so
max_segments isn't enforced against the SG entries actually spanned by
the request. Hence the explicit check.

In preparation to following changes, instead of passing an iovec for
buffer registration introduce a new structure. It'll be moved to uapi
later, but for now it's initialised early from a user provided iovec.

We need to pass more information to buffer registration than we can fit
into a single struct iovec. This patch allows users to optionally pass
struct io_uring_regbuf_desc. Apart from having more space for future use
cases, it also introduces registration types.
Currently, the type can be either of IO_REGBUF_TYPE_UADDR, which mirrors
the iovec path, or IO_REGBUF_TYPE_EMPTY for leaving a buffer table slot
empty. The next patch introduces a dmabuf backed type, and can be useful
for other extensions like splicing a list of user addresses (i.e.
iovec[]), interoperability with zcrx, kernel allocated memory like was
brough up by Cristoph. Note, the type only represents a registration
option, which is distinct from how io_uring internally stores it.
The flags field is not used yet but always useful to have, e.g. we can
encode read-only / write-only restrictions using it.

It's hard to implement cloning if the internal structure needs to be
mutable and/or relies on other ring resources. In preparation to such
buffer types, add a flag indicating that the buffer can't be cloned. It
might be possible to add cloning in the future for them, but that would
likely need reallocating the structure and reacquiring resources in case
by case manner.

We'll have special registered buffer types that can't be used with all
opcodes and need special handling. Add separate flags to control
registered buffer import, which will be used to specify what kind of
buffers the caller can handle.

Implement dmabuf backed registered buffers. To register them, the user
should specify IO_REGBUF_TYPE_DMABUF for the regitration and pass the
desired dmabuf fd and a file for which it should be registered.
From there, it can be used with io_uring read/write requests
IORING_OP_{READ,WRITE}_FIXED) as normal. The requests should be issued
against the file specified during registration, and otherwise they'll be
failed. The user should also be prepared to handle spurious -EAGAIN by
reissuing the request.
Internally, dmabuf registered buffers is an optin feature for io_uring
request opcodes and they should pass a special flag on import to use it.
