Wait, why? Do you mean a ioctl calling loop (rather than a poll event
loop)? I think poll would be fine, but a "try calling RECV and expect to
return ENOENT" loop would change. But I don't think anyone would do this
exactly because it _currently_ acts like O_NONBLOCK, yes?

I only see this in Debian Code Search:
https://sources.debian.org/src/crun/0.15+dfsg-1/src/libcrun/seccomp_notify.c/?hl=166#L166
which is using epoll_wait():
https://sources.debian.org/src/crun/0.15+dfsg-1/src/libcrun/container.c/?hl=1326#L1326

I expect LXC is using it. :)

Let's change it ASAP! ;)
