[PATCH v4] eventfd: convert to f_op->read_iter()

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Fri May 01 2020 - 15:11:13 EST


eventfd is using ->read() as it's file_operations read handler, but
this prevents passing in information about whether a given IO operation
is blocking or not. We can only use the file flags for that. To support
async (-EAGAIN/poll based) retries for io_uring, we need ->read_iter()
support. Convert eventfd to using ->read_iter().

With ->read_iter(), we can support IOCB_NOWAIT. Ensure the fd setup
is done such that we set file->f_mode with FMODE_NOWAIT.

Since v3:

- Ensure we fiddle ->f_mode before doing fd_install() on the fd

Since v2:

- Cleanup eventfd_read() as per Al's suggestions

Since v1:

- Add FMODE_NOWAIT to the eventfd file
