Description

We have recently invested a lot of time in rewriting FileStream on Windows. We have kept io_uring in mind and after recent refactoring, it should be now much easier to implement the support:

We (owners of System.IO) have a lot of other high-priority things on our schedule for .NET 6 (like full symbolic links support) and since most of our customers are not using the latest Linux kernels, we are most probably won't be able to implement it on our own for .NET 6. But we would love to provide any help necessary (code reviews, testing) for a contributor that would be willing to implement it. Having said that, I am marking this issue as "up-for-grabs".

If we won't find a contributor for .NET 6, we are going to include this in .NET 7 planning and deliver it in .NET 7.
