It seems enough to add EEXIST errno check to the "if (errno == EBUSY || > errno == EAGAIN)" condition to repeat the open sequence. The -EBUSY will be > returned correctly then.

And this should be the race only once, so no need to add the artificial delay, IMO. (BTW, now I noticed that we decrease timeout twice :) Takashi
