I couldn't reproduce any hangs under linux with the patch you commited
to trunk.
Thanks for all of your work on this issue!
In my patch I tried to avoid that an idle apache wakes periodically
for no good reasons. But if you don't think that is a problem, please
backport your patch to 2.2.x.
I'd also prefer that prefork doesn't wake up unless it has work, but I
think the simpler, localized change which was committed will be less
trouble in the long run.
wrt backporting:
I think that modern Linux and modern Solaris, perhaps the only platforms
tested so far, both work for the same reason under the covers. Has anyone
tested with regular poll()? If not, I can try to test another platform or
at least dumb down APR to bypass epoll/event queue/etc.
