[issue44738] io_uring as a new backend to selectors and asyncio

[Joongi Kim]

Joongi Kim <me at daybreaker.info> added the comment:

As in the previous discussion, instead of tackling stdlib right away, it would be nice to evaluate the approach using 3rd-party libs, such as trio and/or async-tokio, or maybe a new library.

I have a strong feeling that we need to improve the async file I/O.
AFAIK, aiofiles is the only choice we have and it uses a thread pool, which involves many more context switches than required.
