For existing epoll event loops that can't fully convert to io_uring, the used approach is usually to add the io_uring fd to the epoll instance and use epoll_wait() to wait on both "legacy" and io_uring events. While this work, it isn't optimal as: 1) epoll_wait() is pretty limited in what it can do. It does not support partial reaping of events, or waiting on a batch of events. 2) When an io_uring ring is added to an epoll instance, it activates the io_uring "I'm being polled" logic which slows things down. Rather than use this approach, with EPOLL_WAIT support added to io_uring, event loops can use the normal io_uring wait logic for everything, as long as an epoll wait request has been armed with io_uring. Note that IORING_OP_EPOLL_WAIT does NOT take a timeout value, as this is an async request. Waiting on io_uring events in general has various timeout parameters, and those are the ones that should be used when waiting on any kind of request. If events are immediately available for reaping, then This opcode will return those immediately. If none are available, then it will post an async completion when they become available. cqe->res will contain either an error code (< 0 value) for a malformed request, invalid epoll instance, etc. It will return a positive result indicating how many events were reaped. IORING_OP_EPOLL_WAIT requests may be canceled using the normal io_uring cancelation infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
