[PATCH 07/30] aio: add delayed cancel support

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Wed Mar 28 2018 - 03:40:50 EST


The upcoming aio poll support would like to be able to complete the
iocb inline from the cancellation context, but that would cause
a lock order reversal. Add support for optionally moving the cancelation
outside the context lock to avoid this reversal.

To make this safe aio_complete needs to check if this call should complete
the iocb. If it didn't the callers must not release any other resources.
