Kernel Recipes 2019 - Faster IO through io_uring
Channel: Kernel Recipes
Date: 2019-10-11

Since the dawn of time, Linux has had to make do with inferior IO interfaces. Native Linux AIO supports only a niche application class (O_DIRECT), and even for that use case, it’s far too slow for modern storage. This talk will detail io_uring, a modern IO interface for Linux, that’s both fully featured and performant.
