[PATCH] aio: Wake all waiters when destroying ctx

[Roland Dreier]

From: Roland Dreier <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The test program below will hang because io_getevents() uses
add_wait_queue_exclusive(), which means the wake_up() in io_destroy()
only wakes up one of the threads.  Fix this by using wake_up_all() in
the aio code paths where we want to make sure no one gets stuck.

	// t.c -- compile with gcc -lpthread -laio t.c

	#include <libaio.h>
	#include <pthread.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	static const int nthr = 2;

	void *getev(void *ctx)
	{
		struct io_event ev;
		io_getevents(ctx, 1, 1, &ev, NULL);
		printf("io_getevents returned\n");
		return NULL;
	}

	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		io_context_t ctx = 0;
		pthread_t thread[nthr];
		int i;

		io_setup(1024, &ctx);

		for (i = 0; i < nthr; ++i)
			pthread_create(&thread[i], NULL, getev, ctx);

		sleep(1);

		io_destroy(ctx);

		for (i = 0; i < nthr; ++i)
			pthread_join(thread[i], NULL);

		return 0;
	}
