Hi Matthias,

fdset_add can call fdset_shrink_nolock which call fdset_move
concurrently to poll that is call in fdset_event_dispatch.

This patch add a mutex to protect poll from been call at the same time
fdset_add call fdset_shrink_nolock.

Any reason we cannot use the existing fd_mutex?

yes, using the existing fd_mutex would block fdset_add during the polling in
fdset_event_dispatch.

here fd_pooling_mutex block only fdset_shrink_nolock inside
fdset_add which happen only in very rare occasions.


Thanks for the clarification:

I guess we need to cc: stable, can you help with specifying which
commit it fixes?

Thanks in advance,
