Phoronix: Experimental Patches Allow For New Ioctls To Be Built Over IO_uring

IO_uring continues to be one of the most exciting technical innovations in the Linux kernel in recent years not only for more performant I/O but also opening up other doors for new Linux innovations. IO_uring has continued adding features since being mainlined in 2019 and now the newest proposed feature is the ability to build new ioctls / kernel interfaces atop IO_uring...

When will it be implemented in 5.11 kernel and as patch in 5.10 LTs kernel?

No. Probably not even 5.12. My guess is 5.13. It is in early stages, and beyond creating API, to do it, one needs actually example apps and subsystems using it before being accepted.

Will it be integrated in 5.10 LTs kernel in any case?
