Abstract

With the increasing amount of network throughput, we'll reach a point where a data copies are too much for a single cpu core to handle. This talk gives an overview about how the io_uring infrastructure of the Linux kernel could be used in order to avoid copying data, as well as spreading the load between cpu cores. A prototype for this exists for quite some time and shows excellent results.

  • What the current implementation status is
  • How the proposed design looks like
  • What challenges we are hitting in bringing it upstream
