Provide an interface for the kernel to leverage the existing
pre-registered buffers that io_uring provides. User space can reference
these later to achieve zero-copy IO.

User space must register an empty fixed buffer table with io_uring in
order for the kernel to make use of it.

Just a note, that's fine but I hope we'll be able to optimise

We might need to rethink how it's unregistered. The next patch
does it as a ublk commands, but what happens if it gets ejected
by someone else? get_page might protect from kernel corruption
and here you try to forbid ejections, but there is io_rsrc_data_free()
and the io_uring ctx can die as well and it will have to drop it.
And then you don't really have clear ownership rules. Does ublk
releases the block request and "returns ownership" over pages to
its user while io_uring is still dying and potenially have some
IO inflight against it?

That's why I liked more the option to allow removing buffers from
the table as per usual io_uring api / rules instead of a separate
unregister ublk cmd. And inside, when all node refs are dropped,
it'd call back to ublk. This way you have a single mechanism of
how buffers are dropped from io_uring perspective. Thoughts?

IIUC you can trigger all these from the user space, so they

The name "kbuf" is already used, to avoid confusion let's rename it.
Ming called it leased buffers before, I think it's a good name.
