Linus Torvalds 5bbb336ba7 Merge tag 'for-5.12/io_uring-2021-02-17' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Highlights from this cycles are things like request recycling and
  task_work optimizations, which net us anywhere from 10-20% of speedups
  on workloads that mostly are inline.

  This work was originally done to put io_uring under memcg, which adds
  considerable overhead. But it's a really nice win as well. Also worth
  highlighting is the LOOKUP_CACHED work in the VFS, and using it in
  io_uring. Greatly speeds up the fast path for file opens.

  Summary:

   - Put io_uring under memcg protection. We accounted just the rings
     themselves under rlimit memlock before, now we account everything.

   - Request cache recycling, persistent across invocations (Pavel, me)

   - First part of a cleanup/improvement to buffer registration (Bijan)

   - SQPOLL fixes (Hao)

   - File registration NULL pointer fixup (Dan)

   - LOOKUP_CACHED support for io_uring

   - Disable /proc/thread-self/ for io_uring, like we do for /proc/self

   - Add Pavel to the io_uring MAINTAINERS entry

   - Tons of code cleanups and optimizations (Pavel)

   - Support for skip entries in file registration (Noah)"

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 Restructured Text 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.
