[PATCH 1/4] UML - Fix spurious IRQ testing

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Wed Oct 31 2007 - 16:01:13 EST


The spurious IRQ testing in request_irq is mishandled in
um_request_irq, which sets the incoming file descriptors non-blocking
only after request_irq succeeds. This results in the spurious irq
calling read on a blocking descriptor, and a hang.

Fixed by reversing the O_NONBLOCK setting and the request_irq call.
