Subject: aio: report error from io_destroy() when threads race in io_destroy()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb2d44838320b78e6e3b5eb2e35b70f62f262e4c;p=linux-beck.git

aio: report error from io_destroy() when threads race in io_destroy()

As reported by Anatol Pomozov, io_destroy() fails to report an error when
it loses the race to destroy a given ioctx.  Since there is a difference in
behaviour between the thread that wins the race (which blocks on outstanding
io requests) versus lthe thread that loses (which returns immediately), wire
up a return code from kill_ioctx() to the io_destroy() syscall.
