I am not sure why you think that, does IO::AIO lose fd's on cancelled
requests? If yes, I'd like to understand how it happens.

Same thing, I don't see a lot of this in IO::AIO, in both cases, the
resources will be freed when the request is destroyed. I would say doing
it in the completion callback involves more bookkeeping.
