Commit 70232b5253 ("aio-posix: Don't count ctx->notifier as progress when
26ba25
2018-08-15), by not reporting progress, causes aio_poll to execute the
26ba25
system call when polling succeeds because of ctx->notifier.  This introduces
26ba25
latency before the call to aio_bh_poll() and negates the advantages of
26ba25
polling, unfortunately.
26ba25
26ba25
The fix builds on the previous patch, separating the effect of polling on
26ba25
the timeout from the progress reported to aio_poll().  ctx->notifier
26ba25
does zero the timeout, causing the caller to skip the system call,
26ba25
but it does not report progress, so that the bug fix of commit 70232b5253
26ba25
still stands.
