When ran on ARC, these tests would ocassionally fail
| [ARCLinux]# for i in 1 2 3 4 5 ; do ./tst-cancel2; echo $?; done
| write succeeded
| result is wrong: expected 0xffffffff, got 0x1
| 1 <-- fail
| 0 <-- pass
| 0 <--- pass
| 0 <-- pass
| write succeeded
| result is wrong: expected 0xffffffff, got 0x1
| 1 <-- fail
Same test (which originated form glibc) doesn't fail in glibc builds.
Turns out there's a subtle race in uclibc version
The test creates a new thread, makes it do a looong write call, and
parent then cancels the thread, expecting it to unwind out of write
call cleanly. However the write (even for 10k bytes) could finish
before parent gets a chance to resume and/or cancel it, causing the
occasional failure.
Fix this subtelty by making it write not just once but forever.
