This seems sensible to me.
I have a patch in our tree which changes the signal delivery mechanism
for aio completion to use the well known pipe-to-self trick. I had to
do this because there were some circumstances where IO completion
signals were being lost due to races.
I was planning to send this upstream. Should I enhance my change to
do the same to the termination signals too ?
Ian.
