The submit queue polling threads are userland threads that just never
exit to the userland. When creating the thread with IORING_SETUP_SQ_AFF,
the affinity of the poller thread is set to the cpu specified in
sq_thread_cpu. However, this CPU can be outside of the cpuset defined
by the cgroup cpuset controller. This violates the rules defined by the
cpuset controller and is a potential issue for realtime applications.
In b7ed6d8ffd6 we fixed the default affinity of the poller thread, in
case no explicit pinning is required by inheriting the one of the
creating task. In case of explicit pinning, the check is more
complicated, as also a cpu outside of the parent cpumask is allowed.
We implemented this by using cpuset_cpus_allowed (that has support for
cgroup cpusets) and testing if the requested cpu is in the set.

reverse the order of the element evaluation in an if statement.
for many users that are not using iopoll, the iopoll_list will always
evaluate to false after having made a memory access whereas to_submit is
very likely already loaded in a register.

There's a debug check in io_sq_thread_park() checking if it's the SQPOLL
thread itself calling park. KCSAN warns about this, as we should not be
reading sqd->thread outside of sqd->lock.
Just silence this with data_race(). The pointer isn't used for anything
but this debug check.

With the move to private task_work, SQPOLL neglected to also run the
normal task_work, if any is pending. This will eventually get run, but
we should run it with the private task_work to ensure that things like
a final fput() is processed in a timely fashion.

Work around this by issuing a blanket NOP operation before the SQPOLL

Ideally we'd want to simply kill the task rather than wake it, but for
now let's just add a startup check that causes the thread to exit.
This can only happen if io_uring_alloc_task_context() fails, which
generally requires fault injection.

Count the running time and actual IO processing time of the sqpoll
thread, and output the statistical data to fdinfo.
Variable description:
"work_time" in the code represents the sum of the jiffies of the sq
thread actually processing IO, that is, how many milliseconds it
actually takes to process IO. "total_time" represents the total time
that the sq thread has elapsed from the beginning of the loop to the
current time point, that is, how many milliseconds it has spent in
total.
The test tool is fio, and its parameters are as follows:
[global]
ioengine=io_uring
direct=1
group_reporting
bs=128k

A previous commit moved to using just the private task_work list for
SQPOLL, but it neglected to update the check for whether we have
pending task_work. Normally this is fine as we'll attempt to run it
unconditionally, but if we race with going to sleep AND task_work
being added, then we certainly need the right check here.

Decouple from task_work running, and cap the number of entries we process
at the time. If we exceed that number, push remaining entries to a retry
list that we'll process first next time.
We cap the number of entries to process at 8, which is fairly random.
We just want to get enough per-ctx batching here, while not processing
endlessly.
Since we manually run PF_IO_WORKER related task_work anyway as the task
never exits to userspace, with this we no longer need to add an actual
task_work item to the per-process list.

A previous commit added a trylock for getting the SQPOLL thread info via
fdinfo, but this introduced a regression where we often fail to get it if
the thread is busy. For that case, we end up not printing the current CPU
and PID info.
Rather than rely on this lock, just print the pid we already stored in
the io_sq_data struct, and ensure we update the current CPU every time
we've slept or potentially rescheduled. The latter won't potentially be
100% accurate, but that wasn't the case before either as the task can
get migrated at any time unless it has been pinned at creation time.
We retain keeping the io_sq_data dereference inside the ctx->uring_lock,
as it has always been, as destruction of the thread and data happen below
that. We could make this RCU safe, but there's little point in doing that.
With this, we always print the last valid information we had, rather than
have spurious outputs with missing information.

If we setup the ring with SQPOLL, then that polling thread has its
own io-wq setup. This means that if the application uses
IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_AFF to set the io-wq affinity, we should not be
setting it for the invoking task, but rather the sqpoll task.
Add an sqpoll helper that parks the thread and updates the affinity,
and use that one if we're using SQPOLL.

The sq thread actively releases CPU resources by calling the
cond_resched() and schedule() interfaces when it is idle. Therefore,
more resources are available for other threads to run.
There exists a problem in sq thread: it does not unlock sqd->lock before
releasing CPU resources every time. This makes other threads pending on
sqd->lock for a long time. For example, the following interfaces all
require sqd->lock: io_sq_offload_create(), io_register_iowq_max_workers()
and io_ring_exit_work().
Before the sq thread releases CPU resources, unlocking sqd->lock will
provide the user a better experience because it can respond quickly to
user requests.

Users may specify a CPU where the sqpoll thread would run. This may
conflict with cpuset operations because of strict PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
requirement. That flag is unnecessary for polling "kernel" threads, see
the reasoning in commit 01e68ce08a ("io_uring/io-wq: stop setting
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY on io-wq workers"). Drop the flag on poll threads too.
