The following patch accidentally removed the code for delivering completions for cancelled reads and writes to user space: "[PATCH 04/33] aio: remove retry-based AIO" (https://lore.kernel.org/all/1363883754-27966-5-git-send-email-koverstreet@go...) From that patch:

- if (kiocbIsCancelled(iocb)) { - ret = -EINTR; - aio_complete(iocb, ret, 0); - /* must not access the iocb after this */ - goto out; - }

This leads to a leak in user space of a struct iocb. Hence this patch that restores the code that reports to user space that a read or write has been cancelled successfully.
