I think we can move the poll-fix (and definitely the debug-nuke-fix) to .30. The bug happens when you add an epoll fd inside another wait container (epoll, poll, select). You may get a wakeup, to only find out later that epoll_wait() has no event for you. The bug has been there since day-1, and it has only recently been noticed. Since it is quite some coe change, I'd like it to stage in your toxic tree for a while :) - Davide -- 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/
