hi, Can you tell me which source code files the current epoll implementation is in, if possible, I want to go and understand how to replace epoll with io_uring.

It's not as simple as replacing epoll with io_uring equivalents, the whole readiness based approach needs to be converted into a completion based one for it to work correctly. Grepping the source code for epoll_ functions should show you where it's used.

yes, I saw the same viewpoint on you post. I think I should spend more time understanding it in detail, thank you.
