Hi Linus, Forked off for-5.15/io_uring at some point, hence layered on top of that. This adds bio recycling support for polled IO, allowing quick reuse of a bio for high IOPS scenarios via a percpu bio_set list. It's good for almost a 10% improvement in performance, bumping our per-core IO limit from ~3.2M IOPS to ~3.5M IOPS. Please pull!
