Subject[RFC PATCH for-next 4/4] epoll: epoll() syscall definition
Date
This new system call combines eventpoll entry addition, modification,
deletion, and retrieval into a single call, much like the BSDs' kevent().
Eventpoll entries are described using struct epoll, whose definition
and implementation can be found in prior patches. Its operation is fairly
straightforward: for every input eventpoll entry, add/modify it if the
I/O events bitmask is nonzero (otherwise remove the untriggerable entry),
updating the final event mask in userspace, then retrieve as many ready
eventpoll entries as will fit into the output buffer. It returns the
number of successfully
