> IIRC Alice from the tokio team also suggested there hasn't been much interest in pushing through these difficulties more recently, as the current performance is "good enough".
Well, I think there is interest, but mostly for file IO.
For file IO, the situation is pretty simple. We already have to implement that using spawn_blocking, and spawn_blocking has the exact same buffer challenges as io_uring does, so translating file IO to io_uring is not that tricky.
On the other hand, I don't think tokio::net's existing APIs will support io_uring. Or at least they won't support the buffer-based io_uring APIs; there is no reason they can't register for readiness through io_uring.
