Only set epoll timeout if it's in the future

[RFC vfs/for-next 0/1] Only set epoll timeout if it's in the future

Posted by Joe Damato 8 months, 1 week ago

Greetings:

Sending as an RFC against vfs/for-next because I am not sure which
branch to send this against.

It's possible this should be against vfs.fixes with a Fixes
bf3b9f6372c4 ("epoll: Add busy poll support to epoll with socket
fds."), but I am not sure.

The commit message explains the issue in detail, please see the commit
message for details.

If this patch is appropriate, please let me know:
  - which branch to generate the patch against (I suspect vfs/for-next
    is wrong),
  - whether to include the fixes tag mentioned above or if this is
    considered "new code" instead of a bug fix and I'll omit the fixes.

I'll re-send as instructed (without this cover letter)... or not if this
patch is incorrect/not desirable :)

Thanks,
Joe

Yes, can you resend against vfs.fixes, please? :)
