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@google.com/) >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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
