Subject: [PATCH 3/3] input: evdev: do not block waiting for an event if fd is nonblock
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 10:07:06 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1324058826-12891-3-git-send-email-dima@android.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1324058826-12891-1-git-send-email-dima@android.com>
If there is a full packet in the buffer, and we overflow that buffer
right after checking for that condition, it would have been possible
for us to block indefinitely (rather, until the next full packet) even if
the file was marked as O_NONBLOCK.
