Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reading the linked LWN article and io_uring paper, then inspect the existing Linux AIO integration to determine what an evaluation would cover. Done is not defined; the issue needs concrete evaluation criteria and an agreed outcome before implementation can begin.
