Merge tag 'io_uring-5.13-2021-05-07' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe: "Mostly fixes for merge window merged code. In detail: - Error case memory leak fixes (Colin, Zqiang) - Add the tools/io_uring/ to the list of maintained files (Lukas) - Set of fixes for the modified buffer registration API (Pavel) - Sanitize io thread setup on x86 (Stefan) - Ensure we truncate transfer count for registered buffers (Thadeu)" * tag 'io_uring-5.13-2021-05-07' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: x86/process: setup io_threads more like normal user space threads MAINTAINERS: add io_uring tool to IO_URING io_uring: truncate lengths larger than MAX_RW_COUNT on provide buffers io_uring: Fix memory leak in io_sqe_buffers_register() io_uring: Fix premature return from loop and memory leak io_uring: fix unchecked error in switch_start() io_uring: allow empty slots for reg buffers io_uring: add more build check for uapi io_uring: dont overlap internal and user req flags io_uring: fix drain with rsrc CQEs
