           Summary: Remove calls to WebCore::setDeferringTimers()
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dimich at chromium.org

ResourceHandleManager for curl disables global timers during select() call to
avoid being interrupted by a process signal. It appears that original effort to
fix the interruption ended up using also a loop in case 'select' returns with
EINTR. Loop is the sufficient way to deal with interruptions (for example, see
here: http://www.wlug.org.nz/EINTR). See bug 16071 for more info.

I'm removing setDeferringTimers() because nothing else uses it and I'm in the
process of making TimerBase thread-aware for workers.
