On the other hand, it looks like ioc is in blocking mode. I'm not sure QIO_CHANNEL_ERR_BLOCK can occur? > @@ -1500,8 +1479,8 @@ static void slave_read(void *opaque) > > /* Read payload */ > do { > - size = read(u->slave_fd, &payload, hdr.size); > - } while (size < 0 && (errno == EINTR || errno == EAGAIN)); > + size = qio_channel_read(ioc, (char *) &payload, hdr.size, NULL); > + } while (size == QIO_CHANNEL_ERR_BLOCK); Same question here.
