On io_uring proposal, the optlen is part of the SQE for setsockopt().
You give a  userpointer (optval) and set the optlen in the SQE->optlen.

For getsockopt(), the optlen is returned as a result of the operation,
in the CQE->res.

If you need more detail about it, I documented this behaviour in the
cover-letter (PS1):

Thanks for the feedback!
