If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hans Verkuil commit 4623e5967448444a4ea1e77beb58898c4af48693 upstream. In the 3.17 kernel the poll() behavior changed for output streams: as long as not all buffers were queued up poll() would return that userspace can write. This is fine for the write() call, but when using stream I/O this changed the behavior since the expectation was that it would wait for buffers to become available for dequeuing. This patch only enables the check whether you can queue buffers for file I/O only, and skips it for stream I/O.
