Summary 0000671: aio_fsync() EBADF and "open for writing"
Description Following the interpretation response for 0000501, the same problem exists for aio_fsync, and there is no need for an error if the file is open for reading or search. The access mode of the file descriptor does not affect whether there
are pending I/O operations on the underlying file.
Desired Action Change:

    The aio_fildes member of the aiocb structure referenced by the aiocbp argument is not a valid file descriptor open for writing.


to:
    The aio_fildes member of the aiocb structure referenced by the aiocbp argument is not a valid file descriptor.

At line 19973 (APPLICATION USAGE), change "None." to:

Note that even if the file descriptor is not open for writing, if there are
any pending write requests on the underlying file, then that I/O will be
completed prior to the return of a call to aio_error( ) or aio_return() indicating that the operation has completed.

Interpretation response
------------------------
The standard states that aio_fsync() shall fail on a read-only file
descriptor, and conforming implementations must conform to this. However,
concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the
sponsor.

Rationale:
-------------
The access mode of the file descriptor does not affect whether there
are pending I/O operations on the underlying file.

Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):
-------------------------------------------------------
Make the changes in the Desired Action.
