[PATCH 02/36] aio: remove an outdated comment in aio_complete

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2018-01-22 20:12:09
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml, netdev
Subsystem: aio, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Benjamin LaHaise, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

These days we don't treat sync iocbs special in the aio completion code as
they never use it.  Remove the old comment, and move the BUG_ON for a sync
iocb to the top of the function.
