基本的な使用例: ファイル読み込み

const std = @import("std");
const IoUring = @import("io_uring.zig").IoUring;

pub fn main() !void {
    var gpa = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}){};
    defer _ = gpa.deinit();
    const allocator = gpa.allocator();

    // Initialize io_uring with 32 entries
    var ring = try IoUring.init(32, 0);
    defer ring.deinit();

    std.log.info("io_uring initialized: sq_entries={}, cq_entries={}",
        .{ ring.params.sq_entries, ring.params.cq_entries });

    // Open file
    const file = try std.fs.cwd().openFile("test.txt", .{});
    defer file.close();

    // Allocate buffer
    var buffer = try allocator.alloc(u8, 4096);
    defer allocator.free(buffer);

    // Get SQE
    const sqe = ring.getSQE() orelse return error.SQEUnavailable;

    // Prepare read operation
    sqe.* = std.mem.zeroes(std.os.linux.io_uring_sqe);
    sqe.opcode = std.os.linux.IORING_OP_READ;
    sqe.fd = file.handle;
    sqe.addr = @intFromPtr(buffer.ptr);
    sqe.len = @intCast(buffer.len);
    sqe.off = 0; // Read from offset 0
    sqe.user_data = 1; // Request ID

    // Submit
    const submitted = try ring.submit();
    std.log.info("Submitted {} request(s)", .{submitted});

    // Wait for completion
    const cqe = try ring.waitCQE();
    defer ring.cqeSeen();

    if (cqe.res < 0) {
        const err = @as(std.os.linux.E, @enumFromInt(-cqe.res));
        std.log.err("Read failed: {s}", .{@tagName(err)});
        return error.ReadFailed;
    }

    const bytes_read: usize = @intCast(cqe.res);
    std.log.info("Read {} bytes from file", .{bytes_read});
    std.log.info("Content: {s}", .{buffer[0..bytes_read]});
}

Phase 2: 高度な機能

Registered Buffers (固定バッファ)

固定バッファを使用すると、カーネルがバッファのメモリページを事前に固定（pin）するため、I/O操作ごとのメモリマッピングコストを削減できます。

pub const BufferPool = struct {
    ring_fd: i32,
    buffers: [][]u8,
    iovecs: []os.iovec,
    registered: bool,

    const Self = @This();

    /// Initialize buffer pool
    pub fn init(
        allocator: std.mem.Allocator,
        ring_fd: i32,
        count: usize,
        buffer_size: usize,
    ) !Self {
        var buffers = try allocator.alloc([]u8, count);
        errdefer allocator.free(buffers);

        var iovecs = try allocator.alloc(os.iovec, count);
        errdefer allocator.free(iovecs);

        // Allocate buffers
        for (buffers, 0..) |*buffer, i| {
            buffer.* = try allocator.alignedAlloc(u8, std.mem.page_size, buffer_size);
            iovecs[i] = .{
                .iov_base = buffer.ptr,
                .iov_len = buffer.len,
            };
        }

        return Self{
            .ring_fd = ring_fd,
            .buffers = buffers,
            .iovecs = iovecs,
            .registered = false,
        };
    }

    /// Register buffers with io_uring
    pub fn register(self: *Self) !void {
        const ret = linux.io_uring_register(
            @intCast(self.ring_fd),
            linux.IORING_REGISTER_BUFFERS,
            @ptrCast(self.iovecs.ptr),
            @intCast(self.iovecs.len),
        );

        if (ret < 0) {
            const err = @as(linux.E, @enumFromInt(-ret));
            std.log.err("Failed to register buffers: {s}", .{@tagName(err)});
            return error.RegisterFailed;
        }

        self.registered = true;
        std.log.info("Registered {} buffers", .{self.buffers.len});
    }

    /// Unregister buffers
    pub fn unregister(self: *Self) !void {
        if (!self.registered) return;

        const ret = linux.io_uring_register(
            @intCast(self.ring_fd),
            linux.IORING_UNREGISTER_BUFFERS,
            null,
            0,
        );

        if (ret < 0) {
            const err = @as(linux.E, @enumFromInt(-ret));
            std.log.err("Failed to unregister buffers: {s}", .{@tagName(err)});
            return error.UnregisterFailed;
        }

        self.registered = false;
    }

    /// Get buffer by index
    pub fn getBuffer(self: *Self, index: usize) []u8 {
        return self.buffers[index];
    }

    /// Clean up
    pub fn deinit(self: *Self, allocator: std.mem.Allocator) void {
        if (self.registered) {
            self.unregister() catch {};
        }

        for (self.buffers) |buffer| {
            allocator.free(buffer);
        }
        allocator.free(self.buffers);
        allocator.free(self.iovecs);
    }
};

/// Prepare read with fixed buffer
pub fn prepareReadFixed(
    sqe: *linux.io_uring_sqe,
    fd: i32,
    buf_index: u16,
    len: u32,
    offset: u64,
    user_data: u64,

    sqe.* = std.mem.zeroes(linux.io_uring_sqe);
    sqe.opcode = linux.IORING_OP_READ_FIXED;

    sqe.len = len;
    sqe.off = offset;
    sqe.user_data = user_data;
    sqe.buf_index = buf_index;
}

Registered Files (固定ファイル)

固定ファイルを使用すると、ファイルディスクリプタの参照カウント操作を削減できます。

pub const FileRegistry = struct {
    ring_fd: i32,
    files: []i32,
    registered: bool,

    const Self = @This();

    pub fn init(
        allocator: std.mem.Allocator,
        ring_fd: i32,
        max_files: usize,
    ) !Self {
        var files = try allocator.alloc(i32, max_files);
        @memset(files, -1); // Initialize with invalid fd

        return Self{
            .ring_fd = ring_fd,
            .files = files,
            .registered = false,
        };
    }

    /// Register file descriptors
    pub fn register(self: *Self) !void {
        const ret = linux.io_uring_register(
            @intCast(self.ring_fd),
            linux.IORING_REGISTER_FILES,
            @ptrCast(self.files.ptr),
            @intCast(self.files.len),
        );

        if (ret < 0) {
            const err = @as(linux.E, @enumFromInt(-ret));
            std.log.err("Failed to register files: {s}", .{@tagName(err)});
            return error.RegisterFailed;
        }

        self.registered = true;
    }

    /// Add file descriptor to registry
    pub fn addFile(self: *Self, fd: i32) !u16 {
        for (self.files, 0..) |*slot, i| {
            if (slot.* == -1) {
                slot.* = fd;
                return @intCast(i);
            }
        }
        return error.RegistryFull;
    }

    /// Remove file descriptor from registry

    }

    pub fn deinit(self: *Self, allocator: std.mem.Allocator) void {
        if (self.registered) {
            _ = linux.io_uring_register(
                @intCast(self.ring_fd),
                linux.IORING_UNREGISTER_FILES,
                null,
                0,
            );
        }
        allocator.free(self.files);
    }
};

/// Prepare operation with fixed file
pub fn prepareReadWithFixedFile(
    sqe: *linux.io_uring_sqe,
    file_index: u16,

    user_data: u64,
) void {
    sqe.* = std.mem.zeroes(linux.io_uring_sqe);
    sqe.opcode = linux.IORING_OP_READ;
    sqe.fd = @intCast(file_index);
    sqe.addr = @intFromPtr(buffer.ptr);

    sqe.off = offset;
    sqe.user_data = user_data;
    sqe.flags = linux.IOSQE_FIXED_FILE;
}

Linked Operations (連鎖操作)

複数の操作を連鎖させ、前の操作が成功した場合のみ次の操作を実行できます。

/// Prepare linked operations
pub fn prepareLinkChain(ring: *IoUring) !void {
    // Example: open -> read -> close chain

    const path = "/tmp/test.txt";
    var buffer: [4096]u8 = undefined;

    // 1. Open file
    const sqe1 = ring.getSQE() orelse return error.SQEUnavailable;

    sqe1.opcode = linux.IORING_OP_OPENAT;
    sqe1.fd = linux.AT.FDCWD;
    sqe1.addr = @intFromPtr(path.ptr);
    sqe1.len = @intCast(path.len);
    sqe1.open_flags = linux.O.RDONLY;
    sqe1.user_data = 1;
    sqe1.flags = linux.IOSQE_IO_LINK; // Link to next operation

    // 2. Read from opened file
    const sqe2 = ring.getSQE() orelse return error.SQEUnavailable;

    sqe2.addr = @intFromPtr(&buffer);
    sqe2.len = buffer.len;
    sqe2.off = 0;

Real-world Case Study: TigerBeetle

TigerBeetleは金融取引データベースで、io_uringを活用して驚異的な性能を実現しています。

アーキテクチャの特徴:

• Zero-copy I/O with io_uring
• Fixed buffers for all disk I/O
• Direct I/O (O_DIRECT) with io_uring
• Batch submission for high throughput

性能数値:

• 100万TPS (transactions per second)
• 1ms以下のp99レイテンシ
• 単一スレッドで実現

キーとなる最適化:

// TigerBeetleスタイルのバッチ処理
const BATCH_SIZE = 256;

pub fn submitBatch(ring: *IoUring, operations: []Operation) !void {
    var submitted: usize = 0;

    while (submitted < operations.len) {
        // Fill submission queue
        var count: usize = 0;
        while (count < BATCH_SIZE and submitted < operations.len) {
            const sqe = ring.getSQE() orelse break;
            prepareOperation(sqe, &operations[submitted]);
            submitted += 1;
            count += 1;
        }

        // Submit batch
        _ = try ring.submit();
    }
}
