[PATCH] Add io_uring support in AIO(async io) module

Hi Mikhail,
I didn't see this error in my log. Following is my OS/Kernel:
CentOS: 8.1.1911
Kernel: 5.7.19
Liburing: liburing-1.0.7-3.el8.x86_64, liburing-devel-1.0.7-3.el8.x86_64 (from yum repo)
Regarding the error: 11: Resource temporarily unavailable. It's probably that too many read "/usr/local/html/64746" at one time which is still locked by previous read. I tried to repro this error with single file but it seems nginx auto store the signal file in memory and I don't see error. How do you perform the test? I want to repro this if possible.
My nginx reported this error before:
2021/01/04 05:04:29 [alert] 50769#50769: *11498 pread() read only 7101 of 15530 from "/mnt/cache1/17/68aae9d816ec02340ee617b7ee52a117", client: 11.11.11.3, server: _, request: "GET /_100kobject?version=cdn003191&thread=64 HTTP/1.1", host: "11.11.11.1:8080"
Which is fixed by my 2nd patch(Jan 25) already.
BR,
Ping

Hi Ping Zhao,
When I try to repeat this test, I've got a huge number of these errors:
2021/02/03 10:22:48 [crit] 30018#30018: *2 aio read "/usr/local/html/64746" failed (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) while sending response to client, client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost,
request: "GET /64746 HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost"
I tested this patch on Ubuntu 20.10 (5.8.0-1010-aws kernel version) and Fedora 33 (5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64) with the same result.
Did you get any errors in error log with patch applied? Which OS/kernel did you use for testing? Did you perform any specific tuning before running?

Otherwise Nginx may also use memory as cache storage and this may cause test result not so straight.(since most cache hit in memory, disk io bw is low, like my previous mail found which didn't exclude the memory cache impact)

In previous mail, because I didn't exclude the memory cache storage impact, most cache file is stored in memory, very few are from disk in case of 4k/100k. The data is not correct.(for 1M, because the cache is too big to store in memory, it wat in disk) Also I enabled directio option "directio 2k" this time to avoid this.
