No, it corresponds to this code in block/raw-posix.c:

static int aio_worker(void *arg)
{
    RawPosixAIOData *aiocb = arg;
    ssize_t ret = 0;

    switch (aiocb->aio_type & QEMU_AIO_TYPE_MASK) {
    case QEMU_AIO_READ:
        ret = handle_aiocb_rw(aiocb);
        if (ret >= 0 && ret < aiocb->aio_nbytes && aiocb->bs->growable) {
            iov_memset(aiocb->aio_iov, aiocb->aio_niov, ret,
                      0, aiocb->aio_nbytes - ret);

            ret = aiocb->aio_nbytes;
        }
        if (ret == aiocb->aio_nbytes) {
            ret = 0;
        } else if (ret >= 0 && ret < aiocb->aio_nbytes) {
            ret = -EINVAL;
        }
        break;
