AFAICS, your wakeup can race with io_cancel(), leading to double fput(). You are checking the "somebody had committed itself to cancelling that thing" bit outside of ->ctx_lock on the wakeup side, and I don't see anything to prevent both getting to __aio_poll_complete() on the same iocb, with obvious results. I might be missing something subtle in there, but then it would be nice to have it covered in commit message...
