[Qemu-devel] [PULL 1/1] linux-aio: Handle io_submit() failure gracefully

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

From: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

It is generally not expected that io_submit() fails other than with
-EAGAIN, but corner cases like SELinux refusing I/O when permissions are
revoked are still possible. In this case, we shouldn't abort, but just
return an I/O error for the request.
