This patch set introduces a new file system for the delivery of pollable events through file descriptors. To the detriment of debugability, pollable objects are a nice adjunct to nonblocking/epoll/event-based servers.
Currently implemented waitable "objects" are: signals, futexes, ai/o blocks, timers and fsync. Very initial stage, it has only been slightly tested and isn't ready for prime. The syscall wire up patches were skipped, the complete patch set can be found at: http://haxent.com/~davi/pollfs/ Comments are welcome. -- Davi Arnaut - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
