Something is horribly wrong here. There is no way that value for nr_events
should be passed in to ioctx_alloc(). This implies that userland is calling
io_setup() with an impossibly large value for nr_events. Can you post the
actual diff for your fs/aio.c relative to linus' tree?
fio does exactly this! it passes INT_MAX.
That's correct, I had actually forgotten about this. It was a change
made a few years back, in correlation with the aio optimizations posted
then, basically telling aio to ignore that silly (and broken) user ring.
