nativeGetPortsList hangs for 30 seconds on unix.Close(port.handle)

[dstahlke]

This happens for me on Linux when trying to upload an Arduino sketch using arduino-cli. When nativeGetPortsList opens /dev/ttyS0, then closes it, the close syscall hangs for 30 seconds. As soon as the close syscall starts, /dev/ttyS0 disappears from /proc/$(pgrep arduino-cli)/fd. But the syscall doesn't return for 30 seconds. Stack trace:

If I run cat /dev/ttyS0 from another terminal, this hang doesn't happen.

Is the port a USB port of the Arduino board? or is it an USB-to-Serial adapter connected to the Arduino? Which board is?

Please write here the full go source code that reproduce the problem (possibly try to cut it down to the minimum needed to reproduce the issue).
