Subject: Can you review or ack this patch?

(and resent again, this time with the correct linux-fsdevel mail address)
(Resent as requested by Andrew Morton since this is still stuck)

Hi Al, Andrew,

Can you take a look at this patch and send an Ack or review comments?

It's already been reviewed by Jon Corbet and we really need this functionality
for v3.1. You were in the CC list in earlier postings:

Here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg46753.html
and here: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg34546.html

The patch also featured on LWN: http://lwn.net/Articles/450658/

Without your ack Mauro can't upstream this and we have a number of other
patches that depend on this and are currently blocked.

We would prefer to upstream this patch through the linux-media git tree
due to these dependencies.

My git branch containing this and the dependent patches is here:

http://git.linuxtv.org/hverkuil/media_tree.git/shortlog/refs/heads/poll

Your help would be greatly appreciated (and your ack even more :-) )!

Regards,

	Hans


[PATCH] poll: add poll_requested_events() function

In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different
things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example is
when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN,
but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only
POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the
video4linux subsystem.

Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide
that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key
field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits
of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table_struct
pointer.

The solution is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table_struct once
poll() matches the events, not the poll_table_struct pointer itself. That
way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline.

The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it
internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In
that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events).

Since eventpoll always leaves the key field at ~0 instead of using the
requested events mask, that source was changed as well to properly fill in
the key field.
