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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
