They might, although they probably shouldn't (band is a bitmask for a reason). Anyway, you can handle all these problems by computing the band at signal delivery time. Yes it sounds like it would complicate the signal delivery code, but sigio should really be handled specially anyway, so that a signal queue entry for every fd is guaranteed and queue overflow is not possible. Somebody already has a patch for that, it might be worth working from. -- Jamie - 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/ | |||||||||
