I am a bit uneasy with this one, because an applicatio polling() on one
thousand file descriptors using select()/poll(), will call sk_poll_ll()
one thousand times.
But we call sk_poll_ll() with nonblock set, so it will only test once
for each socket and not loop.
I think this is not as bad as it sounds.
We still honor the time limit on how long to poll.
We still call ndo_ll_poll() a thousand times, and probably do a
spinlock/unlock a thousand times in the driver.
I would definitely be convinced if you give us some performance numbers
of a poll() on a thousand tcp sockets for example.
So with 1000 sockets this is defiantly not a win
sockperf with 1000 udp sockets
sysctl 50 0
select 178.5 us / 130.0 us
poll 188.6 us / 130.0 us
