[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v2 0/9] Add support for io_uring

[Aarushi Mehta <mehta.aaru20@gmail.com>]

This patch series adds support for the newly developed io_uring Linux AIO interface. Linux io_uring is faster than Linux's AIO asynchronous I/O code, offers efficient buffered asynchronous I/O support, the ability to do I/O without performing a system call via polled I/O, and other efficiency enhancements. It is expected that it will replace the old AIO interface

Testing it requires a host kernel 5.1 or newer and the liburing library. Use the option -drive aio=io_uring to enable it.

v2:
- Fix Patchew errors
- Option now enumerates only for CONFIG_LINUX in qapi
- Removed redudant and broken code in io_uring
- io_uring now aborts on sqe leak

Aarushi Mehta (9):
  qapi/block-core: add option for io_uring
  block/block: add BDRV flag for io_uring
  include/block: declare interfaces for io_uring
  stubs: add aio interface stubs for io_uring
  util/async: add aio interfaces for io_uring
  block/io_uring: implements interfaces for io_uring
  blockdev: accept io_uring as option
  block/file-posix: extends to use with io_uring
  configure: permit use of io_uring
