Looks all good to me, just two small things I noticed that you can address before sending the new series: * The div_u64_rem() in ep_timeout_to_timespec() looks wrong, as you are actually dividing a 'long' that does not need it. * In "epoll: wire up syscall epoll_pwait2", the alpha syscall has the wrong number, it should be 110 higher than the others, not 109. > Btw, the other change, to convert epoll implementation to timespec64 > before adding the syscall, equally adds some code churn compared to > patch v3. But perhaps the end state is cleaner and more consistent. Right, that's what I meant. If it causes too much churn, don't worry about it it. Arndd
