Hi Randy, no it's not unpopular :) Those were posted togheter with the patch : http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/epoll.txt http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/epoll_create.txt http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/epoll_ctl.txt http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/epoll_wait.txt to try to explain the new API from user side. From kernel side epoll completely uses the sk_wake_async() already available by many versions, and also it is not expected to offer kernel services to other kernel modules. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
