Hello Damian, Martin, and all,
I came across this (quite old by now) patch to extend eventfd's polling
functionality. I was wondering what happened to it (why it hasn't been
merged yet) and if we could, or what is needed to, move it forward.
I was thinking to use it for V4L2 events support via po

Hi Damian,
Yes, this patch would be geneally useful for implementing stuff in user
space that otherwise would have to live in kernelspace.

use for user space network protocols? It seems like it would be usabl
