From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn-IBi9RG/b67k@public.gmane.org> Find out if the write will trigger a wait due to writeback. If yes, return -EAGAIN. Return -EINVAL for buffered AIO: there are multiple causes of delay such as page locks, dirty throttling logic, page loading from disk etc. which cannot be taken care of.
