    [$] ioctl() for io_uring
    Of all the system calls in the Unix tradition, few are as maligned as ioctl().
    But ioctl() exists for a reason — for many reasons, in truth — and
    cannot be expected to go away anytime soon. It is thus unsurprising that
    there is interest in providing ioctl()-like functionality in the
    io_uring subsystem. A recent RFC patch set
    from Jens Axboe     shows the form that this feature might take in the
    io_uring context.
