Phoronix: IO_uring Continues To Prove Very Exciting: Promising io_uring_spawn Announced

IO_uring continues to prove itself to be one of the most exciting fundamental innovations to the Linux kernel of the past decade. While started for async storage I/O, it has seen recent work around networking use-cases and also driving other innovations like the new "UBD" driver for a IO_uring-based user-space block driver. It also continues to be relentlessly optimized by Jens Axboe and others for maximum performance potential. The latest innovation around IO_uring that was announced this week at Linux Plumbers Conference 2022 in Dublin is io_uring_spawn...

It seems an apparent improvement. Which kernel is planned to be integrate in?

7.0, right after MGLRU patches

7.0, right after MGLRU patches

At least the kernel will be real-time by then. Or not…

[sinepgib]

Well, maybe the ones who complain about the slowness to integrate could review and improve patches :^)

[MorrisS.]

7.0, right after MGLRU patches

Are you sure about this information? 7.0 kernel is planned to be available in the next 2 or 3 years.

It isn't supposed to be accurate but an empty complaint about how long it's taking to integrate.

Ok he was ironic.

[microcode]

(it'll probably be in one of the next few stable releases)

[Random_Jerk]

Are there any apps that can even use io_uring ?
