After defer, a request will be prepared, that includes allocating iovec
if needed, and then submitted through io_wq_submit_work() but not custom
handler (e.g. io_rw_async()/io_sendrecv_async()). However, it'll leak
iovec, as it's in io-wq and the code goes as follows:
io_read() {
if (!io_wq_current_is_worker())
kfree(iovec);
}
Put all deallocation logic in io_{read,write,send,recv}(), which will
leave the memory, if going async with -EAGAIN.
It also fixes a leak after failed io_alloc_async_ctx() in
io_{recv,send}_msg().

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.
