From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <redacted> This flag informs kernel to bail out if an AIO request will block for reasons such as file allocations, or a writeback triggered, or would block while allocating requests while performing direct I/O. IOCB_FLAG_NOWAIT is translated to IOCB_NOWAIT for iocb->ki_flags.
