In many cases, the call to event_notifier_set in aio_notify is unnecessary. In particular, if we are executing aio_dispatch, or if aio_poll is not blocking, we know that we will soon get to the next loop iteration (if necessary); the thread that hosts the AioContext's event loop does not need any nudging. The patch includes a Promela formal model that shows that this really works and does not need any further complication such as generation counts. It needs a memory barrier though. The generation counts are not needed because any change to ctx->dispatching after the memory barrier is okay for aio_notify. If it changes from zero to one, it is the right thing to skip event_notifier_set. If it changes from one to zero, the event_notifier_set is unnecessary but harmless.
