At this point it looks like io_uring is really the new syscall interface of choice. Given that most (not all, but a significant proportion) syscalls are for I/O purposes, it makes sense to bake in the concept of async completion.
Has the security situation improved?
I was curious as to what the issue is. Found some discussion here[1] and here[2].
Anything else?
At least with that patch last year you can turn it off, which seems prudent for servers facing the internet.
