Long story short, even if your app is single-threaded, io_uring is _not_. I wouldn't recommend removing it. See the comment below picked from io_uring.h /* * After the application reads the CQ ring tail, it must use an * appropriate smp_rmb() to pair with the smp_wmb() the kernel uses * before writing the tail (using smp_load_acquire to read the tail will * do). It also needs a smp_mb() before updating CQ head (ordering the * entry load(s) with the head store), pairing with an implicit barrier * through a control-dependency in io_get_cqring (smp_store_release to * store head will do). Failure to do so could lead to reading invalid * CQ entries. */ More difficult to say, what will actually happen. E.g. if you don't use polling io_uring modes, and if you don't do speculative CQ reaping, there is a pairing smp_rmb() just before returning from a wait. But, again, the io_uring ABI doesn't guarantee correctness without them. -- Pavel Begunkov
