When signal queue is full sigqueue will fail. When that happens no IO completion 
notification will ever be delivered.

I suspect the designers of sigev_signal completion notification type envisioned 
that aio_{read,write} should reserve place in signal queue at the start of IO 
operation and return error if resource limits are reached. But glibc 
implementation, obviously, cannot do that, because there is no way to 
reserve/prepare/provision future sigqueue call.
