Can you take a look at the registered-ring branch for liburing: https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/liburing/log/?h=registered-ring which has the basic plumbing for it. Comments (or patches) welcome! Few things I don't really love: 1) You need to call io_uring_register_ring_fd() after setting up the ring. We could provide init helpers for that, which just do queue init and then register ring. Maybe that'd make it more likely to get picked up by applications. 2) For the setup where you do share the ring between a submitter and reaper, we need to ensure that the registered ring fd is the same between both of them. We need a helper for that. It's basically the same as io_uring_register_ring_fd(), but we need the specific offset. And if that fails with -EBUSY, we should just turn off INT_FLAG_RING_REG for the ring and you don't get the registered fd for either of them. At least it can be handled transparantly. >>>> Anyway, current version below.
