Hi Alex,

I'll check the code tomorrow.

Quick answer:
F_SETFL should be translated into FIONBIO and FASYNC ioctls in the 
FreeBSD kernel. Maybe there is a missing "case FIONBIO: return (0); /* 
success */" somewhere in the /dev/rdma_cm implementation, because the 
"fflags" handling is factored out, and only returning success on the 
IOCTL is required.
