These three patches prepare for the sock support in the io_uring cmd, as described in the following RFC: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230406144330.1932798-1-leitao@xxxxxxxxxx/ Since the support linked above depends on other refactors, such as the sock ioctl() sock refactor, I would like to start integrating patches that have consensus and can bring value right now. This will also reduce the patchset size later. Regarding to these three patches, they are simple changes that turn io_uring cmd subsystem more flexible (by passing the whole SQE to the command), and cleaning up an unnecessary compile check. These patches were tested by creating a file system and mounting an NVME disk using ubdsrv/ublkb0. Reviewed-by: Kanchan Joshi <joshi.k@xxxxxxxxxxx> V1 -> V2 : * Create a helper to return the size of the SQE V2 -> V3: * Transformed uring_sqe_size() into a proper function * Fixed some commit messages * Created a helper function for nvme/host to avoid casting * Added a fourth patch to avoid ublk_drv's casts by using a proper helper V3 -> V4: * Create a function that returns a null pointer (io_uring_sqe_cmd()), and uses it to get the cmd private data from the sqe.
