io_uring-like IO for Redox
Introduce ring buffers in Redox to increase I/O performance
Redox OS is a Unix-like microkernel-based operating system written in Rust, intended for both the cloud and the desktop. The purpose of this project is to implement ring buffers for requests and data transfers between key microkernel components, and to measure the potential for performance gains. We will be examining ring buffers connecting drivers to system services, system services to the kernel, and system services to applications. We will also investigate compatibility APIs such as liburing.
