Hi

BTW, my apologies but I should have specified the kernel I am running:

Correct.
then_wrapped executes eventually when connect returns either success or failure

The methods connect and shutdown will execute in this order.
But connect will just queue something that will later be sent down to
the kernel.

I initially suspected an ordering issue on my side. What made me start
suspecting a bug
are two reasons:
- I can force the code to grab an sqe and call io_uring_enter at the
moment the connect()
call happens : I see no change.
- that IOSQE_ASYNC changes this behavior, as you acknowledged yourself.

It seems to me that if shutdown happens when the sqe is sitting on a
kernel queue somewhere
the connection will hang forever instead of failing right away as I would expect
- if shutdown happens after the call to io_uring_enter
