libaio asynchronous syscall io_getevents blocks on error

[Zubin Dittia]

I'm writing a program that uses the kernel's io_submit/io_getevents
system calls.  What I would like to be able to do is submit N
operations for i/o on different files, and then call io_getevents with
min_nr = nr = N and a timeout of NULL, so that I can block until all N
operations have completed.  This works great, except when one of the
operations has an error (eg., if one of the descriptors is invalid).
In this case, the call to io_getevents appears to block indefinitely.
Shouldn't an error on one of the submitted operations count as a
completion event for that operation, so I can check the error code
when the call returns?  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Zubin
