This is the missing link in allowing applications to request IO polling… Is this still an issue with the upstream kernel? As far as I can tell, Greg Kroah-Hartman queued the fix for 4.9 and 4.11, and the fix is in mainline, too: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=20223f0f39ea9d31ece08f04ac79f8c4e8d98246 Thanks, Florian
