Subject: [PULL 15/27] block/io_uring: use non-vectored read/write when possible
Date: Tue,  4 Nov 2025 18:54:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251104175415.525388-16-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251104175415.525388-1-kwolf@redhat.com>

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

The io_uring_prep_readv2/writev2() man pages recommend using the
non-vectored read/write operations when possible for performance
reasons.

I didn't measure a significant difference but it doesn't hurt to have
this optimization in place.
