[Pkg-lirc-maint] Bug#430898: lirc: floods syslog without end, and cpu at 100% (reopen #367151)

[Alexander V. Inyukhin]

Package: lirc
Version: 0.8.0-9.3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Bug #367151 is still exists.

After disconnecting dev/input device its fd remains valid
but select() shows event and read() returns ENODEV.
So, lircd enters into an endless loop and floods syslog.

Proposed solution is to check for ENODEV in devinput_rec() and
close fd if disconnect is detected.
