# Netty io_uring

The new io_uring interface added to the Linux Kernel 5.1 is a high I/O performance scalable interface for fully asynchronous Linux syscalls

## Requirements:

- x86-64 / aarch64 processor
- at least 5.9
- to run the tests, you have to increase memlock(default 64K)

See [our wiki page](https://netty.io/wiki/native-transports.html).

## How to include the dependency

To include the dependency you need to ensure you also specify the right classifier. At the moment we only support linux
x86_64 and aarch_64 but this may change.

As an example this is how you would include the dependency in maven for x86_64:
```

io.netty.incubator
netty-incubator-transport-native-io_uring
0.0.21.Final
linux-x86_64

```

And in gradle:
```
dependencies {
implementation 'io.netty.incubator:netty-incubator-transport-native-io_uring:0.0.21.Final:linux-x86_64'
}
```

## FAQ

### I tried to use io_uring but got `java.lang.RuntimeException: failed to create io_uring ring fd Cannot allocate memory`

When you tried to use io_uring but saw an exception that looked like this please try to encreate the [memlock limit](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/61334) for the user that tries to use io_uring:

```
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: failed to load the required native library
at io.netty.incubator.channel.uring.IOUring.ensureAvailability(IOUring.java:63)
...

You can check your current memlock settings by

```
$ ulimit -l
