Subject: [PATCH 0/1] ioctl_epoll.2: Add epoll ioctl documentation
Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2024 18:17:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240604181740.1741860-1-jdamato@fastly.com> (raw)
Greetings:
This is my first contribution to the man-pages project, so please excuse
any obvious issues; I am happy to take feedback and send updated patches as
needed.
This change documents a new ioctl interface for epoll added to Linux kernel
6.9 [1] and glibc [2] for controlling busy poll on a per-epoll fd basis.
I noted that other ioctls have ioctl_*.2 files, so I followed that
pattern in this change.
Based on the current status of glibc, I would assume that this change will
be part of glibc 2.40 (it is listed under 2.40 in the NEWS section), which
may be released in a few months [3].
Given that, I am not sure if I should wait until glibc 2.40 has been
released before sending this change to this project or not.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Joe
