 * successful cancellation - io_cancel() - does deliver the completion to
 * userspace).
 *
 * And since most things don't implement kiocb cancellation and we'd really like
 * kiocb completion to be lockless when possible, we use ki_cancel to
 * synchronize cancellation and completion - we only set it to KIOCB_CANCELLED
 * with xchg() or cmpxchg(), see batch_complete_aio() and kiocb_cancel().

/**
 * ki_retry	-	iocb forward progress callback
 * @kiocb:	The kiocb struct to advance by performing an operation.
 *
 * This callback is called when the AIO core wants a given AIO operation
 * to make forward progress.  The kiocb argument describes the operation
 * that is to be performed.  As the operation proceeds, perhaps partially,
 * ki_retry is expected to update the kiocb with progress made.  Typically
 * ki_retry is set in the AIO core and it itself calls file_operations
 * helpers.
 *
 * ki_retry's return value determines when the AIO operation is completed
 * and an event is generated in the AIO event ring.  Except the special
 * return values described below, the value that is returned from ki_retry
 * is transferred directly into the completion ring as the operation's
 * resulting status.  Once this has happened ki_retry *MUST NOT* reference
 * the kiocb pointer again.
 *
 * If ki_retry returns -EIOCBQUEUED it has made a promise that aio_complete()
 * will be called on the kiocb pointer in the future.  The AIO core will
 * not ask the method again -- ki_retry must ensure forward progress.
 * aio_complete() must be called once and only once in the future, multiple
 * calls may result in undefined behaviour.
