Also, please cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] on future aio patches.
Didn't realize the patch was sent to linux-kernel (that I don't
subscribe) instead of linux-aio - revised patch attached. Thanks for the
help .... Wendy

Note that other than few exceptions, most of the current filesystem
and/or drivers do not have aio cancel specifically defined
(kiob->ki_cancel field is mostly NULL). However, sys_io_cancel system
call universally sets return code to -EGAIN. This gives applications a
wrong impression that this call is implemented but just never works. We
have customer inquires about this issue.
Upload a trivial patch to address this confusion.
