[PATCH 1/2] aio: correct calculation of available events

From: Benjamin LaHaise
Date: Wed Feb 13 2013 - 12:45:57 EST


When the number of available events in the ring buffer is calculated,
the avail calculation is incorrect when head == tail. This is harmless
in aio_read_events_ring(), but in free_ioctx() leads to the subsequent
WARN_ON(atomic_read(&ctx->reqs_available) > ctx->nr). Correct this.
