From 5262f567987d3c30052b22e78c35c2313d07b230 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2019 12:26:57 -0600 Subject: io_uring: IORING_OP_TIMEOUT support There's been a few requests for functionality similar to io_getevents() and epoll_wait(), where the user can specify a timeout for waiting on events. I deliberately did not add support for this through the system call initially to avoid overloading the args, but I can see that the use cases for this are valid. This adds support for IORING_OP_TIMEOUT. If a user wants to get woken when waiting for events, simply submit one of these timeout commands with your wait call (or before). This ensures that the application sleeping on the CQ ring waiting for events will get woken. The timeout command is passed in as a pointer to a struct timespec. Timeouts are relative. The timeout command also includes a way to auto-cancel after N events has passed.
