Traditional <code>select</code>/<code>poll</code>/<code>epoll</code> handle network I/O well but fall short for <strong>disk and storage operations</strong>. The <strong>io_uring</strong> kernel interface, introduced by Jens Axboe in Linux 5.1, provides a high-performance, lock-free asynchronous I/O API that dramatically reduces syscall overhead for storage-intensive workloads.</p>
