I like how someone helpfully added
> Although initial async offload design in io_uring could be problematic, later kernels changed the thread model. After such improvements, there were no known inherent problems with it and its development is very careful with new features. Considering that a performant async framework with a user facing API is complex, it was to be expected that issues would be found initially. After initial issues have been addressed, it is not any less secure than anything else in the kernel and io_uring acceptance quickly grew in production. Some of its criticism are also based on wrong or outdated assumptions.[14]
...but the only citation is a link to this GH thread, which doesn't support the claims made.
