SubjectRe: [PATCH] fs/select.c: batch user writes in do_sys_poll

I tried this:

for (walk = head; walk; walk = walk->next) {
- struct pollfd *fds = walk->entries;
- int j;
-
- for (j = 0; j < walk->len; j++, ufds++)
- if (__put_user(fds[j].revents, &ufds->revents))
- goto out_fds;
+ if (copy_to_user(ufds, walk->entries,
+ sizeof(struct pollfd) * walk->len))
+ goto out_fds;
+ ufds += walk->len;
}

With that approach, the poll2 microbenchmark (which polls 128 fds) is
about as fast as v1.

However, the poll1 microbenchmark, which polls just 1 fd, regresses a
touch (<1% - ~2%) compared to the current code, although it's largely
within the noise. Thoughts?

Kind regards,
Daniel
