Fundamentals of Operating Systems Course https://oscourse.winVery clever! We often call read/rcv system call to read requests from a connection, this copies data from kernel receive buffer to user space which has a cost. This new patch changes this to allow zero copy with notification. “Reading' data out of a socket instead becomes a “notification” mechanism, where the kernel tells userspace where the data is.”This kernel patch enables zero copy from the receive queue. https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/ZwW7_cRr_UpbEC-X@LQ3V64L9R2/T/
