I don't think that works. If I have an app that would generally complete some work and then call select(), you'll instead stop it in the middle of that work. If that app is the one that should process the wakeup event then it'll never be delivered because you've never got back to select(). -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
