io_get_cqe() is expensive because of a bunch of loads, masking, etc.
However, most of the time we should have enough of entries in the CQ,
so we can cache two pointers representing a range of contiguous CQE
memory we can use. When the range is exhausted we'll go through a slower
path to set up a new range. When there are no CQEs avaliable, pointers
will naturally point to the same address.

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.
