Hmm, non-blocking mode should NOT block.  So, if the timer behaves like you
mentioned, it must be a bug in the timer code...

Of, course, a non-blocking fd does not block, but the timer fd is not
opened non-blocking.

Or why do you explain he doesn't leave with EAGAIN here, but hangs in
schedule() waiting for something to happen? ;)

The pending timer event flush function should work with both blocking and
non-blocking timer fds. Except of course if the timer fds shouldn't have
been opened blocking in the first place.
