Does O_NONBLOCK works on Linux for regular files? If yes, where
is sematics defined?

POSIX says behaviour of O_NONBLOCK on regular files is
unspecified, and it's indeed impossible to use O_NONBLOCK on
regular files with POSIX interfaces: there is no way to schedule
read operation and there is no way to find out if I/O possible
(select()/poll() always return regular files as ready for
reading/writing as per POSIX).
