The whole typing is a mess, but this mostly goes back to the series
you're basing this on.  Jens, can you send out the series so that
we can do a proper review?

IMHO struct io_uring_cmd needs to stay private in io-uring.c, and
the method needs to get the file and the untyped payload in form
of a void * separately.  and block_uring_cmd should be private to
the example ioctl, not exposed to drivers implementing their own
schemes.

This should be mark static and have a much more descriptive name
including a nvme_ prefix.
Yes. Will change.

The comments aren't very useful, and the cast here is a warning sign.
Why do you need it?
Will do away with cast and comments.

Shouldn't the io-uring core take care of this io_uring_cmd_done
call?
At some point we (driver) need to tell the io_uring that command is
over, and return the status to it so that uring can update CQE.
This call "io_uring_cmd_done" does just that.

Indeed. Will change.

How can we free the request here if the data is only copied out in
a task_work?
Things that we want to use in task_work (command status and result)
are alive in "ucd" (which is carved inside uring_cmd itself, and will
not be reclaimed until we tell io_uring that command is over).
The meta buffer is separate, and it is also alive via ucd->meta. It
will be freed only in task-work.
bio/request/pages cleanup do not have to wait till task-work.

nvme_submit_user_cmd already is a mess.  Please split this out into
a separate function.  Maybe the logic to map the user buffers can be
split into a little shared helper.
Ok. I will look at refactoring the way you mentioned.

Another comment on the original infrastructure:  this really needs to
be a block_device_operations method taking a struct block_device instead
of being tied into blk-mq.

I don't think this shoud be exported.
It is needed to populate the callback in PCI transport. Not right?


Thanks for the detailed review.
