Subject: flag parameters: NONBLOCK in timerfd_create
From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@xxxxxxxxxx>
This patch adds support for the TFD_NONBLOCK flag to timerfd_create. The
additional changes needed are minimal.
The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#ifndef __NR_timerfd_create
# ifdef __x86_64__
# define __NR_timerfd_create 283
# elif defined __i386__
# define __NR_timerfd_create 322
# else
# error "need __NR_timerfd_create"
# endif
#endif
#define TFD_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK
int
main (void)
{
int fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, 0);
if (fd == -1)
{
puts ("timerfd_create(0) failed");
return 1;
}
int fl = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL);
if (fl == -1)
{
puts ("fcntl failed");
return 1;
}
if (fl & O_NONBLOCK)
{
puts ("timerfd_create(0) set non-blocking mode");
return 1;
}
close (fd);
fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, TFD_NONBLOCK);
if (fd == -1)
{
puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_NONBLOCK) failed");
return 1;
}
fl = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL);
if (fl == -1)
{
puts ("fcntl failed");
return 1;
}
if ((fl & O_NONBLOCK) == 0)
{
puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_NONBLOCK) set non-blocking mode");
return 1;
}
close (fd);
puts ("OK");
return 0;
}
