Yeah, that aligns with my understanding. I don't think it's realistic
to get this merged before the code freeze, but I think both of the
below issues could be resolved.

anything if bgworker-based AIO is used. So I moved this patch to the
next commitfest, and marked it as "waiting for author" there.

I submitted this patch to help make io_uring-based AIO more of a reality:
