Re: [patch] aio: add per task aio wait event condition

That is not possible because when multiple tasks waiting for events, they

enter the wait queue in FIFO order, prepare_to_wait_exclusive() does

__add_wait_queue_tail(). So first io_getevents() with min_nr of 2 will

be woken up when 2 ops completes.

So switch the order of the two sleepers in the example?

The point is that there's no way to guarantee that the head of the wait queue will be the lowest min_nr.

I got list_add() from the add_wait_queue() still being used in wait_for_all_aios(), fwiw. My mistake.
