From 58e58ffbc0b12efbe00c9ad5f23d71d75790b524 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Brown Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2007 15:37:55 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] Make UDP sockets not blocking This is needs if mountd is running multithreaded else multiple threads will be blocked on a UDP port with nothing to read and so won't be able to serve up-calls from the kernel.
