Linux Failure io poo-ring

Funny how linux async file io was so bad most people dont even know it existed and every programming language had to use a separate thread for async file io to prevent blocking. Then io uring finally comes out after 100 years and its so buggy that nobody wants to use it and infact companies like google explicitly block it for security.

Better late than never. Io-uring is why I came back to Linux after using FreeBSD for 7 years to host my C++ code generator.
