laio_init() can fail for a couple of reasons, which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference in laio_attach_aio_context().
To solve this, add a aio_setup_linux_aio() function which is called early in raw_open_common. If this fails, propagate the error up. The signature of aio_get_linux_aio() was not modified, because it seems preferable to return the actual errno from the possible failing initialization calls. Add an assert that aio_get_linux_aio() cannot return NULL. Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan <naravamu...@digitalocean.com> --- Changes from v2 -> v3 (thanks to Eric Blake and Kevin Wolf for review): Use a boolean false rather than 0 in assignment to use_linux_aio. Drop ending '.' from error_report() calls. Fix typo in commit message (propogates -> propagates). Move aio_setup_linux_aio call to raw_open_common. Changes from v1 -> v2 (thanks to Kevin Wolf for review): Rather than affect virtio-scsi/blk at all, make all the changes internal to file-posix.c.
