4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ [ Upstream commit a389aece97938966616ce0336466b98b0351ef10 ] Ondřej reported that when compiled with python3, the python extension regresses in evlist.get_pollfd function behaviour. The evlist.get_pollfd function creates file objects from evlist's fds and returns them in a list. The python3 version also sets them to 'close the original descriptor' when the object dies (is closed), by passing True via the 'closefd' arg in the PyFile_FromFd call. The python's closefd doc says: If closefd is False, the underlying file descriptor will be kept open when the file is closed. That's why the following line in python3 closes all evlist fds: evlist.get_pollfd() the returned list is immediately destroyed and that takes down the original events fds. Passing closefd as False to PyFile_FromFd to fix this.
