As I said, this new non blocking feature on the input side (disk), is

Just have to mention it is a change of behavior, and documentation
probably needs to reflect this change. "Since linux 2.6.23, sendfile()
repects O_NONBLOCK on in_fd as well"
Fair enough. Unix has traditionally not acknowledged the possibility of
nonblocking I/O on conventional files, for some odd reason.
