+io_uring_disabled
+=================
+
+Prevents all processes from creating new io_uring instances. Enabling this
+shrinks the kernel's attack surface.
+
+= ======================================================================
+0 All processes can create io_uring instances as normal. This is the
+ default setting.
+1 io_uring creation is disabled (io_uring_setup() will fail with
+ -EPERM) for unprivileged processes not in the io_uring_group group.
+ Existing io_uring instances can still be used. See the
+ documentation for io_uring_group for more information.
+2 io_uring creation is disabled for all processes. io_uring_setup()
+ always fails with -EPERM. Existing io_uring instances can still be
+ used.
+= ======================================================================

+
+io_uring_group
+==============
+
+When io_uring_disabled is set to 1, a process must either be
+privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) or be in the io_uring_group group in order
+to create an io_uring instance. If io_uring_group is set to -1 (the
+default), only processes with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability may create
+io_uring instances.
