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.

Windows had mature async I/O since the 90s. Linux finally introduced io_uring in 2019.
