-From 05c3f60fe02370f4c8d15b996bcc8d6f3dc57e12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
-From: Ludwig Nussel <ludwig.nussel@suse.de>
-Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2012 09:09:19 +0200
-Subject: [PATCH] fix deadlock
-
-writelog() must not call pthread_yield() with the lock held that the
-main thread tries to get to cancel the writer thread. writelog()
-on the other hand needs to empty the buffer always to make sure
-poll() blocks again an doesn't cause a loop.
