So awesome... The ring buffer is like a generic asynchronous system call submission mechanism. The set of supported operations is already a subset of available Linux system calls:

Wouldn't it be cool if it gained support for other types of system calls? Something this awesome shouldn't be restricted to I/O...

The author seems to be planning to expand it to be usable as a generic way of doing asynchronous syscalls
