Description Bruno Jesus 2013-12-28 03:38:34 UTC 
With no support to shutdown a parallel (other thread) poll call is not waken up so applications hang indefinitely while waiting for an answer.

Still in the latest development version as seen in:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/net/ipx/af_ipx.c?id=refs/tags/v3.13-rc5#n1966

The problem was found while debugging a windows game through wine, the game is Dune 2000 and the sister bug is http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6941

Please also send this report to netdev@vger.kernel.org

It doesn't look too hard to fix, but nobody has needed to deal with it in years and IPX doesn't get much love or interest nowdays, and hasn't had any meaningful changes since 2010.

The patch is now in Linus tree [1], I would like to say thanks to everyone who helped. I can't find a FIXED resolution to set. Is it the CODE_FIX one? If not, can anyone else take care of closing the bug correctly for me?
