Yes.

Yes, if there is an error during submission.

But it also checked synchronous IO completion (i.e. error or bytes
written), because iomap_dio_rw() waits for non-AIO DIO to complete
and returns the IO completion status in that case.

That is correct. For AIO we'll get -EIOCBQUEUED here on successful
submission.
