Inquiry About IO Uring Support

[aabolfazl]

Description

Is there currently anyone working on adding IO Uring support to the mio library?

Proposal

If no one is actively working on this feature, I would like to open a pull request to implement IO Uring support.

Please let me know if it is okay to proceed with this contribution.

Thank you!

Mio v1 will not support io_uring, it's simply not possible with the current API. However I'm working on io_uring in https://github.com/Thomasdezeeuw/a10. I'm currently porting it to other OS when I have time (which is quite limited).

Also see #1591.

@Thomasdezeeuw Thanks for replying. I checked the A10. Is there anything I can contribute to it? I think I can help you with io_ring implementation.

Currently I'm working on porting the code to other-than-Linux targets in the port branch https://github.com/Thomasdezeeuw/a10/tree/port (link will break at some point). It's very much a work in progress though, not quite ready for external contributions.

The code on main is ready for testing though, so let me know what you think of the API (I'm trying to keep this roughly the same in the port).
