[PATCH for-next v2 0/4] fixed-buffer for uring-cmd/passthrough

[Kanchan Joshi]

Hi,

Currently uring-cmd lacks the ability to leverage the pre-registered
buffers. This series adds new fixed-buffer variant of uring command
IORING_OP_URING_CMD_FIXED, and plumbs nvme passthrough to work with
that.

Patch 1, 3 = prep/infrastructure
Patch 2 = expand io_uring command to use registered-buffers
Patch 4 = expand nvme passthrough to use registered-buffers

Using registered-buffers showed 9-12% IOPS gain in my setup.
QD   Without     With
8     853        928
32    1370       1528
128   1505       1631

This series is prepared on top of:
for-next + iopoll-passthru series [1] + passthru optimization series [2].
A unified branch with all that is present here:

Fio that can use IORING_OP_URING_CMD_FIXED (on specifying fixedbufs=1)
is here -

Changes since v1:
- Fix a naming issue for an exported helper
