This adds support for IORING_OP_MSG_RING, which allows an SQE to signal another ring. That allows either waking up someone waiting on the ring, or even passing a 64-bit value via the user_data field in the CQE. sqe->fd must contain the fd of a ring that should receive the CQE. sqe->off will be propagated to the cqe->user_data on the target ring, and sqe->len will be propagated to cqe->res. The results CQE will have IORING_CQE_F_MSG set in its flags, to indicate that this CQE was generated from a messaging request rather than a SQE issued locally on that ring. This effectively allows passing a 64-bit and a 32-bit quantify between the two rings. This request type has the following request specific error cases: - -EBADFD. Set if the sqe->fd doesn't point to a file descriptor that is of the io_uring type. - -EOVERFLOW. Set if we were not able to deliver a request to the target ring.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
