Would be great if this was integrated into runtimes like tokio. I can totally see graphs of promise chains being translated to calls to io_uring representing the underlying data dependencies and thus saving lots of overhead context switches.

Pretty cool to see how far IO APIs have come with this.

There already is a tokio_uring. I'm still a bit dubious how much help it is for application level stuff outside of normal file operations. E.g the data dependencies stuff is a very granular scheduling operation to generalise in an easy to use way. But it's definitely real and worth watching.

As fantastic as Tokio uring is, it only uses the uring interface for locals files, and not for the network access parts.

Glommio is a thread-per-core async executor/framework that supports io_uring however.

Maintainer of tokio-uring here. It uses io_uring for the network APIs as well.

Oh rad, my bad!

I read a while back that it only did fs, that was clearly incorrect/outdated/etc.
