RWF_NOWAIT informs kernel to bail out if an AIO request will block for reasons such as file allocations, or a writeback triggered, or would block while allocating requests while performing direct I/O. RWF_NOWAIT is translated to IOCB_NOWAIT for iocb->ki_flags. FMODE_AIO_NOWAIT is a flag which identifies the file opened is capable of returning -EAGAIN if the AIO call will block. This must be set by supporting filesystems in the ->open() call. Filesystems xfs, btrfs and ext4 would be supported in the following patches.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
