Research direction
Start by reading the existing timer handling in io_uring_context and trace how each active timer leads to a submitted operation. Compare the design with libunifex as suggested, then determine how to support many timers while submitting only the root timer; done means the timer strategy is implemented and its scalability behavior is verified.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The current implementation submits an operation for each timer that is active. This makes it impossible to have a large number of timers at once with io_uring_context.
This issue is a reminder that timers should be handled differently. For example, we could build an intrusive heap of timers and only submit the root timer. Or we copy how libunifex is doing it.
