This patch adds a new IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED flag to start the rings disabled, allowing the user to register restrictions, buffers, files, before to start processing SQEs. When IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED is set, SQE are not processed and SQPOLL kthread is not started. The restrictions registration are allowed only when the rings are disable to prevent concurrency issue while processing SQEs. The rings can be enabled using IORING_REGISTER_ENABLE_RINGS opcode with io_uring_register(2).

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.
