[PATCH v2 3/4] io_uring/uring_cmd: allow non-iopoll cmds with IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL
From: Caleb Sander Mateos
Date: Wed Feb 18 2026 - 20:43:54 EST
Currently, creating an io_uring with IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL requires all
requests issued to it to support iopoll. This prevents, for example,
using ublk zero-copy together with IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL, as ublk
zero-copy buffer registrations are performed using a uring_cmd. There's
no technical reason why these non-iopoll uring_cmds can't be supported.
They will either complete synchronously or via an external mechanism
that calls io_uring_cmd_done(), so they don't need to be polled.
Allow uring_cmd requests to be issued to IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL io_urings
even if their files don't implement ->uring_cmd_iopoll(). For these
uring_cmd requests, skip initializing struct io_kiocb's iopoll fields,
don't set REQ_F_IOPOLL, and don't set IO_URING_F_IOPOLL in issue_flags.
