All I have at the moment is the audit-testsuite io_uring test (link
below) which is lacking a test for the io_uring CMD command.  I plan
on adding that, but I haven't finished the SELinux patch yet.

* https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-testsuite/tree/main/tests/io_uring

(Side note: there will be a SELinux io_uring test similar to the
audit-testsuite test, but that effort was delayed due to lack of
io_uring support in the Fedora policy for a while; it's working now,
but the SELinux/SCTP issues have been stealing my time lately.)
