Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] epoll: add struct epoll & ioctl() commands
Date: Sun,  2 Feb 2014 18:17:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1391393832-8754-3-git-send-email-n1ght.4nd.d4y@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1391393832-8754-1-git-send-email-n1ght.4nd.d4y@gmail.com>

Add a new 'struct epoll' to the userspace eventpoll interface. Buffers
supplied to read() & write() calls on eventpolls are interpreted as
arrays of this structure. The new structure's only functional difference
from epoll_event is it also holds the associated file descriptor (needed
for write() to properly create events but useful information in general).
Also define the ioctl() command macros to set & get the timeout of an
eventpoll.
