Yeah, I think it makes sense. However, note that the intent of that
optlen being a __user pointer is to possibly write some (updated)
value back into the userspace.
Presumably, you'll pass that updated optlen into some io_uring
completion queue? (maybe a stupid question, not super familiar with
io_uring)
