It's the simple lockless ring buffer implement which supports both
single producer vs. single consumer and multiple producers vs.
single consumer.
Finally, it fetches the valid data out, set the entry to the initialized
state and update ring->out to make the entry be usable to the producer:
data = *entry;
*entry = NULL;
ring->out++;
Memory barrier is omitted here, please refer to the comment in the code.

May I ask why you need a MPSC ring here? Can we just use N SPSC ring for submitting pages and another N SPSC ring for passing back results?
Sure.
We had this option in our mind, however, it is not scalable which will slow
the main thread down, instead, we'd rather to speed up main thread and move
reasonable workload to the threads.
