Getting Priorities Straight: Improving Linux Support for Database I/O
Summary: Evaluates Linux async I/O for MySQL/InnoDB in Badger; shows under-utilization from conservative I/O submission. Advocates prioritized asynchronous I/O in Linux to enable aggressive submission and full I/O bandwidth for large-scale DB workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
