| liburing |
| -------- |
| |
| This is the liburing library. liburing provides helpers to setup and |
| teardown io_uring instances, and also a simplified interface for |
| applications that don't need (or want) to deal with the full kernel |
| side implementation. |
| |

| ulimit settings |
| --------------- |
| |
| io_uring accounts memory it needs under the rlimit memlocked option, which |
| can be quite low on some setups (64K). The default is usually enough for |
| most use cases, but bigger rings or things like registered buffers deplete |
| it quickly. root isn't under this restriction, but regular users are. Going |
| into detail on how to bump the limit on various systems is beyond the scope |
| of this little blurb, but check /etc/security/limits.conf for user specific |
| settings, or /etc/systemd/user.conf and /etc/systemd/system.conf for systemd |
| setups. |
