If local_err is non-NULL then this conditional is not taken:
if (!local_err) {
/*
* If one AioContext gets io_uring, then all AioContexts need io_uring
* so that aio_add_sqe() support is available across all threads.
*/
need_io_uring = true;
return;
}
If the logic you described is correct, please rephrase it. I don't see
how what you've written can happen.
