Looks good, feel free to add:

I'm still not 100% happy with the commit message, but it's good enough.
The actual code looks correct.

Who is going to take this patch?  This is an important fix; it shouldn't be
sitting ignored for months.  get_maintainer.pl shows:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl fs/aio.c
Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@xxxxxxxxx> (supporter:AIO)
Alexander Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:FILESYSTEMS (VFS and infrastructure))
linux-aio@xxxxxxxxx (open list:AIO)
linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:FILESYSTEMS (VFS and infrastructure))
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)
