Let me revive this 4 years old thread.
I've just now noticed that instead of my patch above being merged, what
happened instead was
commit f2791e7eadf437633f30faa51b30878cf15650be

Revert "floppy: refactor open() flags handling"
This reverts commit 09954bad448791ef01202351d437abdd9497a804.
which was plain revert of 09954bad4 (without any further explanation),
which in turn reintroduced the O_NDELAY issue, and I've just been hit by
it again.
I am not able to find any e-mail thread that'd indicate why ultimately
revert happened, instead of mergin my fix.
Jens, do you have any idea?
Thanks,
