/*
This is an example that uses io_uring with attach mode.
It demonstrates the what happens if some thread submits to
the original ring and then spins, while a second thread waits
on the attached ring. This deadlocks because even if rings are
attached, they don't share a completion queue. Therefore all
completion queues must be polled for progress to be made.

It uses liburing for simplicity.
