One more question: if I guess wrong initially about how many file descriptors I'll be monitoring with /dev/epoll, and I need to increase the size of the area inside /dev/epoll in the middle of my scan through the results, what is the proper sequence of calls?
Some possibilities:
1) EP_ALLOC, and continue scanning through the results
2) EP_FREE, EP_ALLOC, EP_POLL because old results are now invalid
3) EP_FREE, EP_ALLOC, write new copies of all the old fds to /dev/epoll, EP_POLL, and start new scan
I bet it's #3. Am I right? - Dan - 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/
