Async dio completions generally happen from hard/soft IRQ context, which means that users like iomap may need to defer some of the completion handling to a workqueue. This is less efficient than having the original issuer handle it, like we do for sync IO, and it adds latency to the completions. Add IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP, which the issuer can set if it is able to safely punt these completions to a safe context. If the dio handler is aware of this flag, assign a callback handler in kiocb->dio_complete and associated data io kiocb->private. The issuer will then call this handler with that data from task context. No functional changes in this patch. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

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.
