Hello everyone,lately I have been looking into the io_uring functionality in the kernel and apps that I use -- what could be a non-generic USE flag shared by mpd and qemu? I have noticed that currently 9 packages[1] have an io-uring USE flag. All of them use it for enabling the use of io_uring system calls. The feature was introduced in 5.1 and the oldest we ship is 5.10 so I think there will be no compatibility issues. Introducing a new io-uring global USE flag would encourage users to enable it globally and simplify the configuration. The USE description that I propose is "Enable the use of io_uring system calls for efficient async IO". Of course if there is something more fitting it should be chosen, I have no hard opinions here. What do you think about it?
I also think io-uring is a good candidate for a global use flag. Given that there where no objections, please feel encouraged to propose a tree-wide patch.
