Add a flag IORING_URING_CMD_REISSUE that ->uring_cmd() implementations
can use to tell whether this is the first or subsequent issue of the
uring_cmd. This will allow ->uring_cmd() implementations to store
information in the io_uring_cmd's pdu across issues.

Probably fold that under the next statement?
if (ret == -EAGAIN || ret == -EIOCBQUEUED) {
if (ret == -EAGAIN) {
ioucmd->flags |= IORING_URING_CMD_REISSUE;
return ret;
}

I'd argue the original looks simpler, cleaner.

I propose doing it this way:
if (ret == -EAGAIN) {
ioucmd->flags |= IORING_URING_CMD_REISSUE;
return ret;
}
if (ret == -EIOCBQUEUED)
return ret;
It's simpler because the -EAGAIN is only checked once :)

Mine was mostly done for code generation reasons, though probably
the compiler is smart enough. I did consider yours as well, it's
more readable. However I'd then write it as:
if (ret == -EAGAIN) {
ioucmd->flags |= IORING_URING_CMD_REISSUE;
return -EAGAIN;
} else if (ret == -EIOCBQUEUED) {
return -EIOCBQUEUED;
}
But we're obviously nitpicking now. The bigger question as posed in
another patch in this series is whether we need IORING_URING_CMD_REISSUE
at all in the first place.
