io_uring_submit_and_wait(3) liburing Manual io_uring_submit_and_wait(3) NAME io_uring_submit_and_wait - submit requests to the submission queue and wait for completion SYNOPSIS #include int io_uring_submit_and_wait(struct io_uring *ring, unsigned wait_nr); DESCRIPTION The io_uring_submit_and_wait(3) function submits the next requests from the submission queue belonging to the ring and waits for wait_nr completion events. After the caller retrieves a submission queue entry (SQE) with io_uring_get_sqe(3) and prepares the SQE, it can be submitted with io_uring_submit_and_wait(3). Ideally used with a ring setup with IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER|IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN as that will greatly reduce the number of context switches that an application will see waiting on multiple requests. RETURN VALUE On success io_uring_submit_and_wait(3) returns the number of submitted submission queue entries. On failure it returns -errno.
