Hi, I'm asking this in context of a simple device driver. In the general implementation of poll(), the wait_queue's in the driver that can wake up the current process and change the current poll condition are added to a poll_table via poll_wait(). Why do we need this? If I was to implement poll() I would simply check the status of the driver and return the result, and if some other process would change the poll condition of the device, in my thinking this would be resolved in the next poll() call.
