All,
would anyone care to recommend a good (active and knowledgeable) Linux developers mailing-list? I've got a situation where I am receiving EAGAIN from a blocking stream, something I did not expect to have to deal with. Or rather, if I have to be able to deal with it anyway, I might as well not use a blocking stream. Where does one go to post that type of questions?
Since what you're saying is impossible (blocking streams don't return EAGAIN) I would suggest making sure you haven't introduced O_NONBLOCK somewhere, and after that making an entry in a bugzilla somewhere
I suppose, Per refers to a system call that supports blocking /and/ non-blocking operations on a stream but is not sure how it has been invoked. If O_NDELAY or O_NONBLOCK is set for such a stream it may cause a system call to return EAGAIN, but it's not blocking as you've pointed out correctly. \Steve
