Subject: [PATCH 2/2] aio: -EINVAL on negative read/write offset
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 09:55:39 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200801280955.39493.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200801280953.20406.rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

An AIO read or write should return -EINVAL if the offset is negative.
This check matches the one in pread and pwrite.

This was found by the libaio test suite.
