[Qemu-devel] [patch] block: make raw aio signaling non-blocking.

[Gerd Hoffmann]

  Hi,

This patch switches the read handle of the signaling pipe into
non-blocking mode.  This avoids unwanted blocking reads and also
allows to read all bytes out of the signaling pipe in case we got
signaled more that once before the handler ran.

cheers,
  Gerd
