On the other hand, if you can set a per-thread flag or tunable which says 'you can always delay my wake by up to N milliseconds', then you don't need special magic in poll/select/nanosleep/etc for that. And it would make it easier to modify userspace to use it too. In fact, you could even use it with binary-only unmodified userspace, by executing a program with the flag already set. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
