Hello all,

one remark - timerfd is not documented in linux Documentation
directory at all.
I think it's better to have such description.
The documentation is the manpage in man-pages.

Ideally you change would come with the changed manpage
too.

Hello Andi,
 thank you,

I found ./man2/timerfd_create.2 from http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages is outdated.
TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET isn't described, just mention "since linux 3.0"
Clockids CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM, CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM isn't mentioned at all.

I'm not technical writer, but I'll try to describe _ALARM clockids and flags introduced by Anton's patchset.
