| 2 | -------- |
| 3 | |
| 4 | This is the liburing library. liburing provides helpers to setup and |
| 5 | teardown io_uring instances, and also a simplified interface for |
| 6 | applications that don't need (or want) to deal with the full kernel |
| 7 | side implementation. |

| 19 | ulimit settings |
| 20 | --------------- |
| 21 | |
| 22 | io_uring accounts memory it needs under the rlimit memlocked option, which |
| 23 | can be quite low on some setups (64K). The default is usually enough for |
| 24 | most use cases, but bigger rings or things like registered buffers deplete |
| 25 | it quickly. root isn't under this restriction, but regular users are. Going |
| 26 | into detail on how to bump the limit on various systems is beyond the scope |
| 27 | of this little blurb, but check /etc/security/limits.conf for user specific |
| 28 | settings, or /etc/systemd/user.conf and /etc/systemd/system.conf for systemd |
| 29 | setups. |
