Description
As of Linux 5.19 I now see slight outperformance with io_uring for an actual networked ping/ping benchmark involving client and server TCP processes. It's less than 10% on my computers, often less than 5%, so we do not see any gigantic gains since we come from a highly optimized epoll usage. But there are gains, esp. for mitigated systems.
Long term plan is to add a new backend in uSockets. It's very, very low priority but I'm interested long term

Research direction
The issue proposes a long-term io_uring backend for uSockets but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by surveying the existing uSockets backends and Linux io_uring requirements; done would mean a reviewed backend with benchmark coverage showing its behavior and performance.
