Hi Robert, your above commit pokes into kiocb internals it really should not, and it breaks my patchset that's been on the -fsdevel list which makes most of the kiocb guts private to fs/aio.c. First please Cc patches like that to linux-fsdevel. Second I don't think the logic in it is correct. You should not disable your own notifications based on how aio works, but do it unconditionally. What was the reason to disable the eventfd notification if there is an aio one as well? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
