aio: Combine io_uring memory mappings, if supported
Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>
aio: Combine io_uring memory mappings, if supported By default io_uring creates a shared memory mapping for each io_uring instance, leading to a large number of memory mappings. Unfortunately a large number of memory mappings slows things down, backend exit is particularly affected. To address that, newer kernels (6.5) support using user-provided memory for the memory. By putting the relevant memory into shared memory we don't need any additional mappings. On a system with a new enough kernel and liburing, there is no discernible overhead when doing a pgbench -S -C anymore.
