/* The following is a threads-based implementation of AIO with minimal
 * dependence on implementation details. Most synchronization is
 * performed with pthread primitives, but atomics and futex operations
 * are used for notification in a couple places where the pthread
 * primitives would be inefficient or impractical.
 *
 * For each fd with outstanding aio operations, an aio_queue structure
 * is maintained. These are reference-counted and destroyed by the last
 * aio worker thread to exit. Accessing any member of the aio_queue
 * structure requires a lock on the aio_queue. Adding and removing aio
 * queues themselves requires a write lock on the global map object,
 * a 4-level table mapping file descriptor numbers to aio queues. A
 * read lock on the map is used to obtain locks on existing queues by
 * excluding destruction of the queue by a different thread while it is
 * being locked.
 *
 * Each aio queue has a list of active threads/operations. Presently there
 * is a one to one relationship between threads and operations. The only
 * members of the aio_thread structure which are accessed by other threads
 * are the linked list pointers, op (which is immutable), running (which
 * is updated atomically), and err (which is synchronized via running),
 * so no locking is necessary. Most of the other other members are used
 * for sharing data between the main flow of execution and cancellation
 * cleanup handler.
 *
 * Taking any aio locks requires having all signals blocked. This is
 * necessary because aio_cancel is needed by close, and close is required
 * to be async-signal safe. All aio worker threads run with all signals
 * blocked permanently.
