Question: is io_uring only worth using for writing to files, or does it provide performance benefits when reading from them, as well?
I've seen database programmers rave about the speed benefits of asynchronous I/O, because they have to store a lot of data on disk. But the majority of programs I write only have to deal with reading files. I'd love to try using io_uring, but only when it's appropriate.
