    io_uring: change registration/upd/rsrc tagging ABI · 992da01a
    Pavel Begunkov authored
    There are ABI moments about recently added rsrc registration/update and
    tagging that might become a nuisance in the future. First,
    IORING_REGISTER_RSRC[_UPD] hide different types of resources under it,
    so breaks fine control over them by restrictions. It works for now, but
    once those are wanted under restrictions it would require a rework.
    
    It was also inconvenient trying to fit a new resource not supporting
    all the features (e.g. dynamic update) into the interface, so better
    to return to IORING_REGISTER_* top level dispatching.
    
    Second, register/update were considered to accept a type of resource,
    however that's not a good idea because there might be several ways of
    registration of a single resource type, e.g. we may want to add
    non-contig buffers or anything more exquisite as dma mapped memory.
    So, remove IORING_RSRC_[FILE,BUFFER] out of the ABI, and place them
    internally for now to limit changes.
