Linux kernel source tree
dfbbfbf191
We've got a good number of mappings we share with the userspace, that includes the main rings, provided buffer rings, upcoming rings for zerocopy rx and more. All of them duplicate user argument parsing and some internal details as well (page pinnning, huge page optimisations, mmap'ing, etc.) Introduce a notion of regions. For userspace for now it's just a new structure called struct io_uring_region_desc which is supposed to parameterise all such mapping / queue creations. A region either represents a user provided chunk of memory, in which case the user_addr field should point to it, or a request for the kernel to allocate the memory, in which case the user would need to mmap it after using the offset returned in the mmap_offset field. With a uniform userspace API we can avoid additional boiler plate code and apply future optimisation to all of them at once. Internally, there is a new structure struct io_mapped_region holding all relevant runtime information and some helpers to work with it. This patch limits it to user provided regions.

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.
