- Avoid double use of "request" in a single sentence. Instead, describe
aio_sigevent as being used to request notification of the associated
operation's completion. This matches the language used to describe
aio_sigevent in aio(4).
- Simplify the prohibition on modifying buffers while requests are in
flight.
- Fix case mismatch.
- Drop note about not using stack variables. C programmers should be able
to figure out if a stack variable is safe based on the later warning
about the life cycle requirements of control blocks.
- Remove prohibition on modifying the I/O buffer for aio_fsync() since
it does not use an I/O buffer. For aio_mlock(), prohibit modifications
to the mapping (e.g. due to mprotect, munmap, mmap, etc.) but do not
prohibit modifications to the memory backing the buffer (stores into
the pages backing the buffer).
