[RHEL 5.4] [RHEL 4.8]SIGSEGV on aio_read()/aio_write() after failed to create a helper thread
Issue
- If you called aio_read()/aio_write() and it failed to create a helper thread for it due to something wrong, the next calling will result in SIGSEGV, because the first failure has corrupted the AIO linked lists (freelist and requestlist).
