The current behaviour of batch_complete_aio() is to suppress all completion events. Some types of asynchronous operations cannot be cancelled synchronously, and must generate a completion event at some point after the io_cancel() syscall. Instead, only suppress completion events during kioctx teardown by free_ioctx().
