The low-level io_uring userspace interface for Rust.

Usage

To use io-uring crate, first add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
io-uring = "0.7"

Next we can start using io-uring crate. The following is quick introduction using Read for file.

use io_uring::{opcode, types, IoUring};
use std::os::unix::io::AsRawFd;
use std::{fs, io};

fn main() -> io::Result<()> { let mut ring = IoUring::new(8)?;

let fd = fs::File::open("README.md")?; let mut buf = vec![0; 1024];

let reade = opcode::Read::new(types::Fd(fd.asrawfd()), buf.asmutptr(), buf.len() as ) .build() .user_data(0x42);

// Note that the developer needs to ensure // that the entry pushed into submission queue is valid (e.g. fd, buffer). unsafe { ring.submission() .push(&read_e) .expect("submission queue is full"); }

ring.submitandwait(1)?;

let cqe = ring.completion().next().expect("completion queue is empty");

asserteq!(cqe.userdata(), 0x42); assert!(cqe.result() >= 0, "read error: {}", cqe.result());

Ok(()) }

Note that opcode Read is only available after kernel 5.6. If you use a kernel lower than 5.6, this example will fail.

Test and Benchmarks

You can run the test and benchmark of the library with the following commands.
