You're right. I e-mailed about that whit Kees Cook [1] and he agreed that the
restrictions in io_uring should allow us to address some issues that with
seccomp it's a bit difficult. For example:
- different restrictions for different io_uring instances in the same
process
- limit SQEs to use only registered fds and buffers

Maybe seccomp could take advantage of the restrictions to filter SQEs opcodes.

Thanks,
Stefano
