From 8f58202bf6b915656e116ece3bc4ace14bfe533a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wendy Cheng Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 13:02:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] change io_cancel return code for no cancel case Note that other than few exceptions, most of the current filesystem and/or drivers do not have aio cancel specifically defined (kiob->ki_cancel field is mostly NULL). However, sys_io_cancel system call universally sets return code to -EAGAIN. This gives applications a wrong impression that this call is implemented but just never works. We have customer inquires about this issue. Changed by Benjamin LaHaise to EINVAL instead of ENOSYS Signed-off-by: S.
