Weird indentation. Either align after the opening if brace:
if ((req->common.ki_flags & IOCB_NOWAIT) &&
!(req->common.ki_flags & IOCB_DIRECT)) {
or using two tabs:
if ((req->common.ki_flags & IOCB_NOWAIT) &&
!(req->common.ki_flags & IOCB_DIRECT)) {
if the first version looks confusing, but never using the same
indentation level as the following code.
Except for that the patch looks fine to me:
