Sounds like a callback to me
- vlovich123 1y agoSaying it’s a callback is equivalent to claiming select is a callback. Receiving an event does not a callback make - providing the function address to invoke would make it a callback.
- Veserv 1y agoCallback execution is: wait until begin event occurs, then do this operation. Asynchronous execution is: do this operation, then wait until finish event occurs. They are opposites.
- pyrolistical 1y agoThere is no callback. The response just shows up on the other ring buffer. The client decides when to look at the ring buffer
- Analemma_ 1y agoIt's not. The NT kernel and some others have genuine callbacks in some of their syscalls, where you pass a userspace function pointer which the kernel invokes on completion; io_uring isn't that and Linux doesn't have anything like that.
- signa11 1y agono it is not.
