Subject: [Bug 23872] New: epoll_create(0) fails. Mismatch between implementation and manpage
Date: Sun, 28 Nov 2010 13:13:07 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-23872-11311@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23872
Summary: epoll_create(0) fails. Mismatch between implementation
and manpage
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Kernel Version: 2.6.36
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
ReportedBy: kernelbugs-pbvhy9/vjlfAiHgwPnP32rNAH6kLmebB@public.gmane.org
Regression: No
The epoll_create manpage (current version as of 2010-11-28) contains:
SYNOPSIS
...
int epoll_create(int size);
...
DESCRIPTION
...
(Nowadays, size is ignored; see NOTES below.)
...
ERRORS
EINVAL size is not positive.
...
NOTES
Since Linux 2.6.8, the size argument is unused. ...
on the other hand, fs/eventpoll.c contains:
SYSCALL_DEFINE1(epoll_create, int, size)
{
if (size <= 0)
return -EINVAL;
return sys_epoll_create1(0);
}
The size parameter is not ignored as stated in the manpage.
Please correct the manpage or remove the check inside the implementation.
