io_uring: support for generic async request cancel
This adds support for IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL, which will attempt to cancel requests that have been punted to async context and are now in-flight. This works for regular read/write requests to files, as long as they haven't been started yet. For socket based IO (or things like accept4(2)), we can cancel work that is already running as well. To cancel a request, the sqe must have ->addr set to the user_data of the request it wishes to cancel. If the request is cancelled successfully, the original request is completed with -ECANCELED and the cancel request is completed with a result of 0. If the request was already running, the original may or may not complete in error. The cancel request will complete with -EALREADY for that case. And finally, if the request to cancel wasn't found, the cancel request is completed with -ENOENT. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
