From 03a7beb55b9fad363f0dd33e72ccf2d3e1c2a406 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paton J. Lewis" Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 17:13:39 -0700 Subject: epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app Enhanced epoll_ctl to support EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE, which disables an epoll item. If epoll_ctl doesn't return -EBUSY in this case, it is then safe to delete the epoll item in a multi-threaded environment. Also added a new test_epoll self- test app to both demonstrate the need for this feature and test it. Signed-off-by: Paton J.
