When turning to Claude AI to help in sorting through the issue, patches were devised that can deliver up to a "literally yield a 50-80x improvement on the io_uring side for idle systems."

[$] More efficient removal of pages from the direct map
内核的直接映射(direct map)允许运行在内核模式的代码直接访问系统中安装的所有物理内存——至少在64位系统上是这样。这显然让内核开发者的工作更轻松,但直接映射也带来了一些自身的问题,其中大部分与安全相关。
