Pull io_uring IO interface from Jens Axboe: "Second attempt at adding the io_uring interface. Since the first one, we've added basic unit testing of the three system calls, that resides in liburing like the other unit tests that we have so far. It'll take a while to get full coverage of it, but we're working towards it. I've also added two basic test programs to tools/io_uring. One uses the raw interface and has support for all the various features that io_uring supports outside of standard IO, like fixed files, fixed IO buffers, and polled IO. The other uses the liburing API, and is a simplified version of cp(1). This adds support for a new IO interface, io_uring. io_uring allows an application to communicate with the kernel through two rings, the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) ring. This allows for very efficient handling of IOs, see the v5 posting for some basic numbers: https://lore.k...
