io_uring_ring_dontfork(3) liburing Manual io_uring_ring_dontfork(3)
io_uring_ring_dontfork - prevent ring memory from being shared
after fork
#include <liburing.h>
int io_uring_ring_dontfork(struct io_uring *ring);
The io_uring_ring_dontfork(3) function ensures that the mmap'ed
rings for the io_uring instance ring are not available to a child
process after a fork(2).
This function uses madvise(2) with MADV_DONTFORK on the mmap'ed
ranges to prevent them from being shared with child processes.
This is useful when the parent wants exclusive access to the ring
and doesn't want the child to be able to access or interfere with
it.
Returns 0 on success. On error, a negative errno value is
returned.
