Its filename is kernel-cgroup-add-poll-file-operation.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/kernel-cgroup-add-poll-file-operation.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/kernel-cgroup-add-poll-file-operation.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kernel: cgroup: add poll file operation Cgroup has a standardized poll/notification mechanism for waking all pollers on all fds when a filesystem node changes. To allow polling for custom events, add a .poll callback that can override the default. This is in preparation for pollable cgroup pressure files which have per-fd trigger configurations.
