OK let's give it a go then. I tried it out and it seems to work for me,
even if the shutdown-while-busy is something I'd to look into a bit
more.

BTW, did notice a typo on the github page:

2) dependency
- liburing with IORING_SETUP_SQE128 support

- linux kernel 5.9(IORING_SETUP_SQE128 support)

that should be 5.19, typo.
