Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fdmon-poll: reset npfd when upgrading to fdmon-epoll
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2020 11:12:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200821101252.203056-2-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200821101252.203056-1-stefanha@redhat.com>

npfd keeps track of how many pollfds are currently being monitored. It
must be reset to 0 when fdmon_poll_wait() returns.

When npfd reaches a treshold we switch to fdmon-epoll because it scales
better.

This patch resets npfd in the case where we switch to fdmon-epoll.
Forgetting to do so results in the following assertion failure:

  util/fdmon-poll.c:65: fdmon_poll_wait: Assertion `npfd == 0' failed.

Buglink: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1869952
Fixes: 1f050a4690f62a1e7dabc4f44141e9f762c3769f ("aio-posix: extract ppoll(2) and epoll(7) fd monitoring")
