Ming Lei 62fe99cef9 ublk: add read()/write() support for ublk char device
Support pread()/pwrite() on ublk char device for reading/writing request
io buffer, so data copy between io request buffer and userspace buffer
can be moved to ublk server from ublk driver. Then UBLK_F_NEED_GET_DATA
becomes not necessary, so ublk server can allocate buffer without one
extra round uring command communication for userspace to provide buffer.

IO buffer can be located by iocb->ki_pos which encodes buffer offset, io
tag and queue id info, and type of iocb->ki_pos is u64, so it is big
enough for holding reasonable queue depth, nr_queues and max io buffer
size.

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.
