From: Alan Stern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This patch (as837) fixes several mistakes in the AIO interface of the
gadgetfs driver:

        The ki_retry method is not supposed to do a put on the kiocb.
        The extra call to aio_put_req() causes memory corruption.
        (Note: This call was removed before, by patch as691, and then
        mysteriously re-introduced later.)

        Even if a read transfer is cancelled, we can and should send
        to the user all the data that did manage to get transferred.

        Testing for AIO cancellation in the I/O completion handler
        is both racy and (now) unnecessary.  aio_complete() does its
        own checking, in a safe manner.
