From the commit msg:

    s3-aio-fork: Fix a segfault in vfs_aio_fork
    
    aio_suspend does not signal the main process with a signal, it just waits. The
    aio_fork module does not use the signal at all, it directly calls back into the
    main smbd by calling smbd_aio_complete_aio_ex. This is an abstraction
    violation, but the alternative would have been to use signals where they are
    not needed. However, in wait_for_aio_completion this bites us: With aio_fork we
    call handle_aio_completed twice on the same aio_ex struct: Once from the call
    to handle_aio_completion within the aio_fork module and once from the code in
    wait_for_aio_completion.
    
    This patch fixes it in a pretty bad way by introducing flag variables and more
    state. But the mid-term plan is to replace the posix aio calls from the vfs and
    do pread_send/recv and pwrite_send/recv at the vfs layer, so this will
    significantly change anyway.
    
    Thanks to Kirill Malkin <kirill.malkin@starboardstorage.com> for reporting this
