Okay, seems fine to optimize it in the future.

But io_uring/net.c and io_uring/rw.c both retrieve the buf_group value
from req->buf_index instead of the SQE, for example:
if (req->flags & REQ_F_BUFFER_SELECT)
        sr->buf_group = req->buf_index;

Seems like it would make sense to do the same for
UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS. That also saves one pointer dereference here.

Okay, that makes sense.

Yeah, I'd agree it makes sense to keep the unexpected path code
simpler. There may also be fairness concerns from looping indefinitely
here if the evts_fifo continues to be nonempty, so dispatching to task
work seems safer.
