io_uring is zero copy or not?

Hi Jens,

I'm interested in the io_uring, and have a doubt about it.
If I setup io_uring with IORING_REGISTER_BUFFERS,
the kernel doesn't need copy data from user space to the kernel, right?
Does it mean this is a zero-copy feature?

>From the code, kernel directly get the userspace virtual address's
pages and store them:

2475 pret = get_user_pages_longterm(ubuf, nr_pages, FOLL_WRITE,
2476 pages, vmas);
