[DragonFlyBSD - Submit #2804] Blocking IO in sound subsystem.

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #2804 has been updated by dillon.


I really don't want to change the fcntl path via fionbio_master.patch.  That's a non-starter.

The patch in sound.patch is also a problem if there are multiple applications which have open()d the sound device in different ways because it appears to be modifying a shared structure.

The sound driver really has to handle the blocking or non-blocking I/O on a read-by-read and write-by-write basis, using the flags passed to read and write.

>    Dragonfly always passes a flag for every IO operation depending whether
>    the mode of the operation or of the fd is set to NBIO, but it doesn't
>    pass down fcntl() changes to the drivers. So, if you open /dev/dsp with
>    NONBLOCK and later fcntl it to blocking, the sound driver won't be aware
>    of this fact.

>    Fix: don't maintain this setting in the sound driver.

>    Requested and tested by corecode at .
