PATCH 1/1 io_submit.2: acknowledge possibility of short return

Note that the return value may be a value less than nr if not all iocbs were queued at once. This would have saved me an embarrassing amount of time.

Hello Sage,

Note that the return value may be a value less than nr if not all iocbs were queued at once. This would have saved me an embarrassing amount of time.

Thanks. Applied!

Cheers,
