Merge tag 'for-6.17/io_uring-20250728' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Optimization to avoid reference counts on non-cloned registered
   buffers. This is how these buffers were handled prior to having
   cloning support, and we can still use that approach as long as the
   buffers haven't been cloned to another ring.

 - Cleanup and improvement for uring_cmd, where btrfs was the only user
   of storing allocated data for the lifetime of the uring_cmd. Clean
   that up so we can get rid of the need to do that.

 - Avoid unnecessary memory copies in uring_cmd usage. This is
   particularly important as a lot of uring_cmd usage necessitates the
   use of 128b SQEs.

 - A few updates for recv multishot, where it's now possible to add
   fairness limits for limiting how much is transferred for each retry
   loop. Additionally, recv multishot now supports an overall cap as
   well, where once reached the multishot recv will terminate. The
   latter is useful for buffer management and juggling many recv streams
   at the same time.

 - Add support for returning the TX timestamps via a new socket command.
   This feature can work in either singleshot or multishot mode, where
   the latter triggers a completion whenever new timestamps are
   available. This is an alternative to using the existing error queue.

 - Add support for an io_uring "mock" file, which is the start of being
   able to do 100% targeted testing in terms of exercising io_uring
   request handling. The idea is to have a file type that can be
   anything the tester would like, and behave exactly how you want it to
   behave in terms of hitting the code paths you want.

 - Improve zcrx by using sgtables to de-duplicate and improve dma
   address handling.

 - Prep work for supporting larger pages for zcrx.

 - Various little improvements and fixes.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
