I can reproduce it. I'm pretty sure it worked when I posted the patch,
though of course I may be wrong. Perhaps I just didn't test IDE: virtio works.
It's a race:
[pid 17045] select(13, [0 3 4 6 8 12], [], [], {1, 0} <unfinished ...>
[pid 17046] sendmsg(6, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"...", 28}], ...}, 0) =
28
[pid 17046] select(7, [0 6], [], NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [6])
[pid 17045] <... select resumed> ) = 1 (in [6], left {0, 986176})
[pid 17046] recvfrom(6, <unfinished ...>
[pid 17046] <... recvfrom resumed> "...", 16, 0, NULL, NULL) = 16
[pid 17046] recvmsg(6, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"..." 512}], ...}, 0) =
512
[pid 17045] recvfrom(6, 0x7fff5fee29d0, 16, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
[pid 17045] recvfrom(6, 0x7fff5fee29d0, 16, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
[pid 17045] recvfrom(6, 0x7fff5fee29d0, 16, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
Two selects return a readable state at the same time, and when the second
handler is called it fails to retrieve the NBD header.
