My understanding is that the semantics of set_nonblock() are to
set non-blocking on all operations on the transport associated with
the fd - and that it's true even if you dup() the fd; and so if you
set non-blocking in one direction you get it in the other direction as well.
The (existing) destination side sets non-block (see process_incoming_migration
in migration.c), and so it gets non-blocking on the incoming data stream, but
that has the side effect that it's also going to be non-blocking on
the destinations writes to the reverse-path; thus we need to be able
to safely do writes from the destination reverse-path.
The text is out of date, back in v2 the source used to use non-blocking
for the return-path, but we managed to kill that off by using a thread
for the return path in the source.
How about changing the text to:
--------
The destination sets the fd to non-blocking on incoming migrations;
this also affects the return path from the destination, and thus we
need to make sure we can safely write to the return path.
