+ glfs_io_cbk
+
+ The following is the function type definition of the callback
+ function pointer which has to be provided by the caller to the
+ *_async() versions of the IO calls.
+
+ The callback function is called on completion of the requested
+ IO, and the appropriate return value is returned in @ret.
+
+ In case of an error in completing the IO, @ret will be -1 and
+ @errno will be set with the appropriate error.
+
+ @ret will be same as the return value of the non _async() variant
+ of the particular call
+
+ @data is the same context pointer provided by the caller at the
+ time of issuing the async IO call. This can be used by the
+ caller to differentiate different instances of the async requests
+ in a common callback function.
