This puzzles me a bit, why is the restore now dependent on
IOCB_USE_META?

Why don't we just set ->private generically earlier, eg like we do for
the ki_flags, rather than have it be a branch in here?

Would it be cleaner to stuff that IOCB_USE_META check in
need_complete_io(), as that would closer seem to describe why that check
is there in the first place? With a comment.

Also seems a bit odd why we need this check here, surely if this is
needed other "don't do retry IOs" conditions would be the same?

Same here. Would be nice to integrate this a bit nicer rather than have
a bunch of "oh we also need this extra check here" conditions.

Same question here on the (now) conditional restore.

Why isn't this just caught at init time when IOCB_DIRECT is checked?

kiocb->private is a bit of an odd beast, and ownership isn't clear at
all. It would make the most sense if the owner of the kiocb (eg io_uring
in this case) owned it, but take a look at eg ocfs2 and see what they do
with it... I think this would blow up as a result.

Outside of that, and with the O_DIRECT thing check fixed, this should
just be two separate functions, one for read and one for write.
