You mean, would a sleep for the socket buffer space cause aio thread
block is the socket is put in nonblocking mode ?  Or something else ?

No, it would not block the thread. But I cannot consider the
aio_sendfile(2) implementation useful if it requires non-blocking
socket. Also, what about other thread changing the socket to blocking
mode while sendfile is in flight ?
