Hello,

on the latest kernel a fio job with 4 workers using libaio hangs.

git bisect points to:
commit e02ba72aabfade4c9cd6e3263e9b57bf890ad25c
Author: Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@xxxxxxxxx>

aio: block io_destroy() until all context requests are completed


The fio workers are on the wait_for_completion in sys_io_destroy.

Regards,
Sebastian
