Hi Linus, hi Al,
below is the new version of the aio fix(es).
Patch one just holds an additional file reference over AIO ops. This one is minimally invasive and a clear 4.9 and stable candidate.
The next one drops the never implemented aio_fsync methods because it makes my life easier later on. No user visible change as we always ended up returning EINVAL anyway.
Patch three refators the aio code so that it's not a spaghetti monster, and patch four is Jan's original free patch rebased on top of this whole stack.
