io_uring_register_buffers - register buffers for fixed buffer operations
#include <liburing.h> int io_uring_register_buffers(struct io_uring *ring, const struct iovec *iovecs, unsigned nr_iovecs); int io_uring_register_buffers_sparse(struct io_uring *ring, unsigned nr_iovecs);
The io_uring_register_buffers(3) function registers nr_iovecs number of buffers defined by the array iovecs belonging to the ring. The io_uring_register_buffers_sparse(3) function registers nr_iovecs empty buffers belonging to the ring. These buffers must be updated before use, using eg io_uring_register_buffers_update_tag(3). After the caller has registered the buffers, they can be used with one of the fixed buffers functions. Registered buffers is an optimization that is useful in conjunction with O_DIRECT reads and writes, where it maps the specified range into the kernel once when the buffer is registered rather than doing a map and unmap for each IO every time IO is performed to that region. Additionally, it also avoids manipulating the page reference counts for each IO.
On success io_uring_register_buffers(3) and io_uring_register_buffers_sparse(3) return 0. On failure they return -errno.
