This is just so wrong there aren't even words to describe it. I
recommending reverting all of Bart's patches since they were not reviewed
by anyone with a sufficient level of familiarity with fs/aio.c to get it
right.

Where were you while my patches were posted for review on the fsdevel
mailing list and before these were sent to Linus?

A revert request should include a detailed explanation of why the revert
should happen. Just claiming that something is wrong is not sufficient
to motivate a revert.
