write(2) can hit the same EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK errors as read(2),
so busy-looping on a non-blocking FD is a waste of resources.
Currently, I do not know of a way for this happen:
* the NonBlocking directive in systemd does not apply to stdin,
stdout, or stderr.
* xinetd provides no way to set the non-blocking flag at all
But theoretically, it's possible a careless C10K HTTP server
could use pipe2(..., O_NONBLOCK) to setup a pipe for
git-http-backend with only the intent to use non-blocking reads;
but accidentally leave non-blocking set on the write end passed
as stdout to git-upload-pack.
Followup-to: 1079c4be0b720 ("xread: poll on non blocking fds")
