We currently size the CQ ring as twice the SQ ring, to allow some flexibility in not overflowing the CQ ring. This is done because the SQE life time is different than that of the IO request itself, the SQE is consumed as soon as the kernel has seen the entry. Certain application don't need a huge SQ ring size, since they just submit IO in batches. But they may have a lot of requests pending, and hence need a big CQ ring to hold them all. By allowing the application to control the CQ ring size multiplier, we can cater to those applications more efficiently. If an application wants to define its own CQ ring size, it must set IORING_SETUP_CQSIZE in the setup flags, and fill out io_uring_params->cq_entries. The value must be a power of two.
