When we get an interrupt from the socket getting readable,
and start reading, there's a possibility for a race. This
depends on the implementation of the device, but e.g. with
qemu's libvhost-user, we can see:
device virtio_uml
---------------------------------------
write header
get interrupt
read header
read body -> returns -EAGAIN
write body
The -EAGAIN return is because the socket is non-blocking,
and then this leads us to abandon this message.
In fact, we've already read the header, so when the get
another signal/interrupt for the body, we again read it
as though it's a new message header, and also abandon it
for the same reason (wrong size etc.)
This essentially breaks things, and if that message was
one that required a response, it leads to a deadlock as
the device is waiting for the response but we'll never
reply.
Fix this by spinning on -EAGAIN as well when we read the
message body. We need to handle -EAGAIN as "no message"
while reading the header, since we share an interrupt.
Note that this situation is highly unlikely to occur in
normal usage, since there will be very few messages and
only in the startup phase. With the inband call feature
this does tend to happen (eventually) though.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
