(To get this right, you'd need another flag that disables the automatic addition of POLLERR and POLLHUP.) If you do that and add an extra syscall that simultaneously does a bunch of epoll_ctls, a timerfd_settime, and an epoll_wait, I'll be extra happy. --Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
