The call to aio_advance_iovec() in aio_rw_vect_retry() becomes problematic
when it comes to pipe and socket operations which internally modify/advance
the iovec themselves. As a result AIO writes to sockets fail to return
the correct result.

Hi Matt,
I'm trying to clean up all the usages of struct class_device to use

The problem was that a futex can be called with a zero timeout (0 seconds,

Substract roughly n * 5MB for VIA chipsets, where n is the age (1 <= n <=
