Please have a look at the attached patch. It should fix all the remaining
issues. Just let me know if there is something left that I've missed.

I think you meant IOError and errno=EINTR. FileIO won't throw a BlockingIOError
in any case. That's BufferedReader. If FileIO.read fails and errno=EAGAIN then
it returns None and otherwise it throws an IOError. At least that's how I
understand the code and the documentation.

You're welcome.

Kind regards
