Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring/net: fix io_req_post_cqe abuse by send bundle [ 114.987980][ T5313] WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 5313 at io_uring/io_uring.c:872 io_req_post_cqe+0x12e/0x4f0

[ 115.013876][ T5313] io_wq_worker+0x34f/0xdf0 As the comment states, io_req_post_cqe() should only be used by
multishot requests, i.e. REQ_F_APOLL_MULTISHOT, which bundled sends are
not. Add a flag signifying whether a request wants to post multiple
CQEs. Eventually REQ_F_APOLL_MULTISHOT should imply the new flag, but
that's left out for simplicity.
