There are two kinds of opcode-specific preparations we do. The first is just initialising req with what is always needed for an opcode and reading all non-generic SQE fields. And the second is copying some of the stuff like iovec preparing to punt a request to somewhere async, e.g. to io-wq or for draining. For requests that have tried an inline execution but still needing to be punted, the second prep type is done by the opcode handler itself. Currently, we don't explicitly split those preparation steps, but combining both of them into io_*_prep(), altering the behaviour by allocating ->async_data. That's pretty messy and hard to follow and also gets in the way of some optimisations. Split the steps, leave the first type as where it is now, and put the second into a new io_req_prep_async() helper. It may make us to do opcode switch twice, but it's worth it.

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.
