RE: [PATCH v3 1/4] poll() exits too early with EFAULT if 1st arg is NULL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If poll() is used as a milli-second sleep, like in help.c, by passing a NULL
in the 1st and a 0 in the 2nd arg, it exits with EFAULT.

As per Paolo Bonzini, the original author, this is a bug and to be fixed like
in this commit, which is not to exit if the 2nd arg is 0.
