io_uring_get_sqe128 - get the next available 128-byte submission queue entry from the submission queue

#include <liburing.h>
struct io_uring_sqe *io_uring_get_sqe128(struct io_uring *ring);

The io_uring_get_sqe128(3) function gets the next available 128-byte submission queue entry from the submission queue belonging to the ring param.

On success io_uring_get_sqe128(3) returns a pointer to the submission queue entry. On failure NULL is returned.

If a submission queue entry is returned, it should be filled out via one of the prep functions such as io_uring_prep_uring_cmd128(3) and submitted via io_uring_submit(3).

Note that neither io_uring_get_sqe128(3) nor the prep functions set (or clear) the user_data field of the SQE. If the caller expects io_uring_cqe_get_data(3) or io_uring_cqe_get_data64(3) to return valid data when reaping IO completions, either io_uring_sqe_set_data(3) or io_uring_sqe_set_data64(3) MUST have been called before submitting the request.

io_uring_get_sqe128(3) returns a pointer to the next submission queue event on success and NULL on failure. If NULL is returned, the SQ ring either wasn't created with support for 128-byte SQE entries ( IORING_SETUP_SQE128 or IORING_SETUP_SQE_MIXED ) or is currently full and entries must be submitted for processing before new ones can get allocated.
