Hello, Please find a patch proposal for bug BUG #19369: Not documented that io_uring on kernel versions between 5.1 and below 5.6 does not work. This is not a document patch but code patch using a GUC hook to : - check liburing setup - check kernel version to allow/disallow io_method=io_uring I have made successfull tests on: - Alma Linux 9.7/ kernel 5.14 without liburing setup - Debian 12 / kernel 6.1 with liburing-dev NB: This is my first patch and I apologize if it is not fully compliant with patching rules. Thanks.
