fio error checking for write operations

I am trying to determine how fio (github.com/axboe/fio) determines if there is a write error when using the libaio ioengine.

From the post at linux kernel aio functionality, I see an example of error checking in the callback function, work_done(), which examines the events returned by io_getevents().

But I cannot find any similar error checking in the fio_libaio_getevents() function from libaio.c (https://github.com/axboe/fio/blob/master/engines/libaio.c#L145).

I have written to the mailing list ([email protected]) from https://github.com/axboe/fio/blob/fio-2.17/README#L77, but the mail bounces. So any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The errors are returned as res and res2 in struct iocb. In that fio code, you can see the iocb array passed in here, as ld->aio_events + events. 

        r = io_getevents(ld->aio_ctx, actual_min,
            max, ld->aio_events + events, lt);

The actual error is checked earlier in the file, in the function fio_libaio_event.
