Subject: [PATCH 2/7] aio: remove an outdated BUG_ON and comment in aio_complete
Date: Wed,  2 May 2018 23:14:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180502211448.18276-3-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180502211448.18276-1-hch@lst.de>

These days we don't treat sync iocbs special in the aio completion code as
they never use it.  Remove the old comment and BUG_ON given that the
current definition of is_sync_kiocb makes it impossible to hit.
