Goldwyn Rodrigues b745fafaf7 fs: Introduce RWF_NOWAIT and FMODE_AIO_NOWAIT
RWF_NOWAIT 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.

RWF_NOWAIT is translated to IOCB_NOWAIT for iocb->ki_flags.

FMODE_AIO_NOWAIT is a flag which identifies the file opened is capable
of returning -EAGAIN if the AIO call will block. This must be set by
supporting filesystems in the ->open() call.

Filesystems xfs, btrfs and ext4 would be supported in the following patches.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
