            Bug ID: 209509
           Summary: EAGAIN on shell pipes / O_NONBLOCK error in kernel ?
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: phk at FreeBSD.org

I have a pretty trivial program here, which quite reliably will receive EAGAIN
on stdout/stderr when these are a shell created pipe.

The command is run as:

 aardwarc stow |& tee /tmp/__

It does two popens, and chats with those two programs (ssh and mtree).

Here is from a ktrace:

First, checking that stderr & stdout are not O_NONBLOCK:

 16131 aardwarc CALL  fcntl(0x1,F_GETFL,0xffffe5bc)
 16131 aardwarc RET   fcntl 2
 [...]
 16131 aardwarc CALL  fcntl(0x2,F_GETFL,0xffffe5bc)
 16131 aardwarc RET   fcntl 2

Then after a lot of output on stdout/stderr:

 16131 aardwarc CALL  write(0x1,0x7fffffffdd80,0x7e)
 16131 aardwarc RET   write -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable
 [...]
 16131 aardwarc CALL  write(0x2,0x7fffffffde90,0x16)
 16131 aardwarc GIO   fd 2 wrote 22 bytes
 [...]
 16131 aardwarc CALL  write(0x2,0x7fffffffddb0,0x9)
 16131 aardwarc GIO   fd 2 wrote 9 bytes
 [...]
 16131 aardwarc CALL  write(0x2,0x7fffffffdd70,0x44)
 16131 aardwarc RET   write -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable

Presumably these are the same struct file, so it notable that stdout gets
EAGAIN, the stderr manages two writes, then stderr also gets EAGAIN.
