[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.12] tap: set vhostfd passed from qemu cli to non-blocking

[Brijesh Singh]

A guest boot hangs while probing the network interface when
iommu_platform=on is used.

The following qemu cli hangs without this patch:

# $QEMU \
  -netdev tap,fd=3,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=4 3<>/dev/tap67 
4<>/dev/host-net \
  -device 
virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,iommu_platform=on,disable-legacy=on \
  ...

Commit: c471ad0e9bd46 (vhost_net: device IOTLB support) took care of
setting vhostfd to non-blocking when QEMU opens /dev/host-net but if
the fd is passed from qemu cli then we need to ensure that fd is set
to non-blocking.

Fixes: c471ad0e9bd46 "vhost_net: device IOTLB support"
