So this is all about accounting for when all events are closed? I.e. as
we receive the ERR and HUP we go on closing the entries in the pollfd?
Then, when none are closed, then we exit, is that the case?
Why not just mark them -1 and decrement evlist->nr_open_fds (new field)?
struct pollfds {
struct pollfd *pollfds;
int nr_fds;
int nr_open_fds;
};
Don't use callbacks and then that poller_item doesn't need to exist :-\
I'll try to cook a patch with those ideas later today, if for anything,
to validate your patches :-)
