This requires either mind-reading machine, or some feedback from Ulrich. Last main from him about kevent was related to 25 release. As far as I can see, only questionable parts are signal mask in syscalls, but nature of kevent signal delivering does not require it, since mask of pending signals is not updated if special flag is set, and exceeded functionality (like hrtimers accessible through kevent interface and as POSIX addon). -- Evgeniy Polyakov - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
