I'm not sure that is any better.
EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable (may be the same value
as EWOULDBLOCK) (POSIX.1-2001).
This is generally used when the kernel expects user space to try a
system call again, and it might then work. Is that what you expect
here?

Please look at the whole patch. There might be other instances where a
void * is used with a cast, which can be removed. This was just the
first i spotted.
