Hi, libublk-rs v0.2 is released: https://crates.io/crates/libublk https://github.com/ming1/libublk-rs Changes: - support async/await for generic async fn(don't depend on runtime) and io_uring. - unprivileged ublk - queue idle handle - almost all features in libublksrv are supported in libublk-rs now - command line support for examples Now each io command can be handled in dedicated io task as following, and it looks like sync programming, but everything is handled in async style: let mut cmd_op = libublk::sys::UBLK_IO_FETCH_REQ; let mut result = 0; let addr = std::ptr::null_mut(); loop { if q.submit_io_cmd(tag, cmd_op, addr, result).await == libublk::sys::UBLK_IO_RES_ABORT { break; } // io_uring async is preferred result = handle_io_cmd(&q, tag).await; cmd_op = libublk::sys::UBLK_IO_COMMIT_AND_FETCH_REQ; } Roadmap: 1) write more complicated targets with async/await - re-write qcow2 with clean async/await implementation in rublk project which depends on libublk https://crates.io/crates/rublk https://github.com/ming1/rublk 2) tens of thousands of ublk device support - switch control command to async/await, and make ublk device in one thread with single blocking point - shared task: one task can create multiple ublk devices - shared uring: create multiple ublk device with single uring. 3) support tokio async, especially for non-io_uring target io handling Thanks, Ming
