from LWN.net on (#4T6G8)
The io_uring mechanism is a relatively newinterface for asynchronous I/O; it first appeared in the 5.1 kernel inMay. Since then, though, it has quickly grown in capabilities and inusers; now it appears that it is outgrowing some of the kernelinfrastructure that supports it. Thus, we have a proposal from Jens Axboe(the io_uring maintainer) for a newworkqueue subsystem for io_uring that hints at some interesting plansfor the future.
