@stacksmashing Hm, maybe we should ask @axboe ? I heard he's vaguely familiar with io_uring's genesis …

I always assumed it to be `u`nified, I guess because the first thing I read on it was `man 7 io_uring`, which says "… gets its name from the ring buffers which are shared between user space and kernel space"; I'll flatly admit the `u`ser interpretation to be more likely.
Not calling it io_u_ring makes sense to me, else you would have to call the userland libu_ring, and that's atrocious ;)

@axboe @funkylab Thanks a lot! Great to get a response directly from the source and thanks for all your work :)
