Yes exactly what I had in mind. I'm also thinking of a particular chain of syscalls [0][1][2][3] (send netlink message, setsockopt, ioctls, getsockopts, reads, then setsockopt, then send netlink message) grouped so as to be done in one sequence without ever surfacing up to userland (just fill those here buffers, who's a good boy!). So now I'm missing ioctls and getsockopts but all in good time!

I dug up the thread with the benchmarks: https://github.com/axboe/liburing/issues/189
io_uring does win on more recent versions, but it's not like it blows epoll out of the water - it's an incremental improvement.
Specifically for websockets where you have a lot of idle connections, you don't want a bunch of buffers waiting for reads for long periods of time - this is why Go doesn't perform well for websocket servers as calling Read() on a socket requires tying up both a buffer and a goroutine stack.
I haven't looked into how registering buffers works with io_uring, if it's 1-to-1 mapping or if you can pass a pool of N buffers that can be used for reads on M sockets where M > N. The details matter for that specific case.
Again where io_uring really shines is file IO because there are no good solutions there currently.
