>Description:
Current implementation of AIO does not set the EV_CLEAR flag when adding new
AIO events in the kqueue. This causes problems while fetching kevents from
several threads. I can't imagine the situation when the AIO event should be
read many times, so I suggest adding EV_CLEAR to all AIO events.
>How-To-Repeat:
Schedule aio operation, i.e. aio_read or aio_write with kqueue notification. If
you use kevent in several threads, several copies of the EVFILT_AIO events will
be fetched.
>Fix:
I suggest adding EV_CLEAR to the flags of the AIO event, since there is no way
to control it with aio_ operations directly.
If it is not acceptable maybe there should be a sysctl or other tunable option.
