From: Matteo Rizzo <matteorizzo@xxxxxxxxxx>
Introduce a new sysctl (io_uring_disabled) which can be either 0, 1, or
2. When 0 (the default), all processes are allowed to create io_uring
instances, which is the current behavior. When 1, io_uring creation is
disabled (io_uring_setup() will fail with -EPERM) for processes not in
the kernel.io_uring_group group. When 2, calls to io_uring_setup() fail
with -EPERM regardless of privilege.

[JEM: modified to add io_uring_group]

v4:
* Add a kernel.io_uring_group sysctl to hold a group id that is allowed
to use io_uring. One thing worth pointing out is that, when a group
is specified, only users in that group can create an io_uring. That
means that if the root user is not in that group, root can not make
use of io_uring.
I also wrote unit tests for liburing. I'll post that as well if there
is consensus on this approach.
Matteo, you didn't reply to Jens' message about pulling the patch, so
I figured you got busy, so I picked up the patch. I hope you're okay
with the signoff.
v3:
* Fix the commit message
* Use READ_ONCE in io_uring_allowed to avoid races
* Add reviews
v2:
* Documentation style fixes
* Add a third level that only disables io_uring for unprivileged
processes

+io_uring_disabled
+=================
+
+Prevents all processes from creating new io_uring instances. Enabling this
+shrinks the kernel's attack surface.
+
+= ======================================================================
+0 All processes can create io_uring instances as normal. This is the
+ default setting.
+1 io_uring creation is disabled (io_uring_setup() will fail with -EPERM)
+ for processes not in the io_uring_group group. Existing io_uring
+ instances can still be used. See the documentation for io_uring_group
+ for more information.
+2 io_uring creation is disabled for all processes. io_uring_setup()
+ always fails with -EPERM. Existing io_uring instances can still be
+ used.
+= ======================================================================
+
+
+io_uring_group
+==============
+
+When io_uring_disabled is set to 1, a process must be in the
+io_uring_group group in order to create an io_uring instance. If
+io_uring_group is set to -1 (the default), only processes with the
+CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability may create io_uring instances.
