io_uring_sqe_set_data(3) liburing Manualio_uring_sqe_set_data(3)io_uring_sqe_set_data - set user data for submission queue event
#include <liburing.h>void io_uring_sqe_set_data(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,void *user_data);void io_uring_sqe_set_data64(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,__u64data);
Theio_uring_sqe_set_data(3) function stores auser_data pointer with the submission queue entrysqe. Theio_uring_sqe_set_data64(3) function stores a 64-bitdata value with the submission queue entrysqe. After the caller has requested a submission queue entry (SQE) withio_uring_get_sqe(3), they can associate a data pointer or value with the SQE. Once the completion arrives, the functionio_uring_cqe_get_data(3) orio_uring_cqe_get_data64(3) can be called to retrieve the data pointer or value associated with the submitted request. Note that if neither of these functions are called, or theuser_data field in thesqe isn't set manually either, then the field may contain a value from a previous use of this sqe. If an application relies on always having a validuser_data value present, it must always assign one to each sqe.
