Hello Hackers! I'm developing a module for FreeBSD-8 and encountered the problem with polling sockets. I know that FreeBSD-8 kernel provides 3 interfaces for polling (kern/sys_generic.c): 1) kern_select 2) poll 3) selsocket
I cannot use first two interfaces because I have an array of sockets (struct socket) created using socreate, i.e. I don't have file descriptors. I also cannot use selsocket because it doesn't tell me which events fired and takes only one socket (but I have an array of sockets). The problem is that the module I'm developing should work on unmodified FreeBSD-8 kernel. So I cannot just add new functionality suitable for my task in kern/sys_generic.c. I also cannot implement such functionality in the module itself because select/poll implementation is hidden and only limited number of interfaces is available to the rest of the kernel (which is generally good, but not in my case :)). Is it possible to solve my problem using existing kernel functionality? Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance! P.S. I know about kqueue, but I have to use select/poll is this task. -- Sincerely yours, Dmitry V.
