That's not true for V4L2. Only one filehandle can do I/O at a time. Actually, this is not quite true currently, as you could, for example use one fd for QBUF, and another for DQBUF, with the current behavior, but, with luck, no applications are doing weird things like that. Yet, tests are needed to avoid breaking something, if we're willing to change it. > I'm going to look into changing fs/select.c so that the poll driver function > can actually see the event mask provided by the application. Why? A POLLERR should be notified, whatever mask is there, as the application may need to abort (for example, in cases like hardware removal).
