+                 when the poll_read return Poll::Pending.

+                 Case:
+                 When read_buf is beyond max buffer size the early return
+                 could be successfully be parsed as a new Request.
+                 This case would not generate ParseError::TooLarge
+                 and at this point IO stream is not fully read to Pending
+                 and would result in dispatcher stuck until timeout (KA)

+                 This is a perf choice to reduce branch on
+                 <Request as MessageType>::decode.
+
+                 A Request head too large to parse is only checked on
