What's the ARM ABI?

Yes, the AIO listio additions:




From: Bharata B Rao <bharata@in.ibm.com>

This patch provides POSIX listio support by means of a new system call.

long lio_submit(aio_context_t ctx_id, int mode, long nr,
struct iocb __user * __user *iocbpp, struct sigevent __user *event)

This system call is similar to the io_submit() system call, but takes
two more arguments.

'mode' argument can be LIO_WAIT or LIO_NOWAIT.

'event' argument specifies the signal notification mechanism.

This patch is built on support provided by the aio signal notification
patch by Sebastien. The following two structures together provide
the support for grouping iocbs belonging to a list (lio).

struct aio_notify {
struct task_struct *target;
__u16 signo;
__u16 notify;
sigval_t value;
struct sigqueue *sigq;
};

struct lio_event {
atomic_t lio_users;
struct aio_notify lio_notify;
};

A single lio_event struct is maintained for the list of iocbs. lio_users
holds the number of requests attached to this lio and lio_notify has the
necessary information for generating completion notification signal.

If the mode is LIO_WAIT, the event argument is ignored and the system call
waits until all the requests of the lio are completed.

If the mode is LIO_NOWAIT, the system call returns immediately after
submitting the io requests and may optionally notify the process on list io
completion depending on the event argument.
