MSG_DONTWAIT (since Linux 2.2)
Enables nonblocking operation; if the operation would block, the
call fails with the error EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK. This provides
similar behavior to setting the O_NONBLOCK flag (via the fcntl(2)
F_SETFL operation), but differs in that MSG_DONTWAIT is a per-call
option, whereas O_NONBLOCK is a setting on the open file description
(see open(2)), which will affect all threads in the calling process
and as well as other processes that hold file descriptors referring
to the same open file description.
* Simplify EINTR/ECANCEL error handling
1. Add semaphore uninterruptible wait function
2 .Replace semaphore wait loop with a single uninterruptible wait
3. Replace all sem_xxx to nxsem_xxx
* Unify the void cast usage
1. Remove void cast for function because many place ignore the returned value witout cast
2. Replace void cast for variable with UNUSED macro
As a policy, all internal OS implementations must use "detached" files which are valid in any context and do not depend on the validity of a file descriptor at any point in time. This commit converts the usage of file descriptors to detached files throughout the local socket implementation.
Squashed commit of the following:
net/local: Finish change to eliminate use of file descriptors.
net/local: A little more of the conversion.
net/local: Beginning of chnages to eliminate use of file descriptors in the local socket implementeation. poll() will be a problem.
