Hi Richard,

On RHEL7, the above patch has been backported to v3.10.0, so increasing
the required
kernel version to 3.12 does not seem better.

The old format of file is set to 'anon_inode:[aio]' by the following patch set:
'55708698c5f1("fs/anon_inode: Introduce a new lib function anon_inode_getfile_private()")'
'36bc08cc0170("fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages migration")'

The current format of file is set to '/[aio]' by the following patch:
'71ad7490c1f3("rework aio migrate pages to use aio fs")'

Could we change the keyword into '[aio]' to match as many formats as possible, and
return TCONF if the mapping file does not exist.

Thanks,
Xiao Yang.
