Subject: [Bug 66571] New: epoll_wait has it wrong about timeout and EINTR
Date: Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:05:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-66571-11311@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66571
Bug ID: 66571
Summary: epoll_wait has it wrong about timeout and EINTR
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
Reporter: jonas-p4BucIDcVy3iH4Lt12DN6A@public.gmane.org
Regression: No
The epoll_wait(2) man page says:
"EINTR The call was interrupted by a signal handler before either any
of the requested events occurred or the timeout expired; see
signal(7)."
Looking at the code of the kernel, EINTR is only returned when there is a
pending signal. If the timeout expires, it will simply return without an error.
Simply removing the "or the timeout expired" part should be enough.
