[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] ISCSI: iscsi_process_read callback for when the iscsi socket becomes readable may be invoked by qemu after the fd-is-readable event has cleared.

[Ronnie Sahlberg]

Libiscsi treats a situation such as POLLIN was invoked and the socket is 
readable but ioctl(...FIONREAD...) returns that there are no bytes available to 
read as an error and that the socket is faulty or has been closed.
which may trigger a slow process of closing down the socket completely and 
trying to reconnect to recover.

Update the iscsi fd-is-readable callback  iscsi_process_read to check for this 
condition explicitely.
If are invoked and getsockopt tells us there is a real socket problem then we 
pass POLLIN onto libiscsi and let it try to handle the situation and/or recover.
If there is no error, but ioctl(...FIONREAD...) still indicates that there were 
no bytes to read, then we treat this as just a false invokation from the 
eventsystem and do nothing.
If there are bytes available to read, then we pass POLLIN into libiscsi and let 
it read and process the bytes.
