Well, there currently is no legal way to do this at all without busy loops. select/poll really have to return immediately for files according to POSIX. What would be needed is either to deliberately diverge from POSIX or have a non-standard extension (like another epoll flag) to do what is needed. But it's good advise to look at every program using O_NONBLOCK on files. If it, as in squid's case, just reads a file and cannot proceed until that happens and does not wait in poll/select/epoll while reading, then there is absolutely no reason to use O_NONBLOCK and it should be removed. - -- â Ulrich Drepper â Red Hat, Inc. â 444 Castro St â Mountain View, CA â -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBdXN+2ijCOnn/RHQRAoyWAKDJ1RyyiWjd4Iq0XsOkB3tbx3SXkQCfaEI8 X5G9pd+718RC+NI9Q9iR6O0= =65zv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
