    From the relay API implementation?

    this flag is a little confusing. It is much like:

    flags = fcntl(pipe_fd, F_GETFL);
    fcntl(pipe_fd, F_SETFL, flags | O_NONBLOCK);
    splice(..pipe_fd..., 0); // without O_NONBLOCK
    fcntl(pipe_fd, F_SETFL, falgs);

    In fact, setting O_NONBLOCK is the only way of letting splice pipe
    operations non-blockable currently. When splicing, splice doesn't
    refer to the pipe file's f_flags. :(
