  • These files are almost all the same.

    This patch could be made even simpler if we don't mind POLLREMOVE turning
    up in a few architectures that didn't have it previously (which should be
    OK as POLLREMOVE is not used anywhere in the current tree).

  • Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
    (and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets. Since the
    existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
    devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
    POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
    places where it makes sense. The same thing was discussed and conceptually
    agreed quite some time ago:

    http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116

    Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
    even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it. As far
    as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is. The
    pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
    archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files. The other attached diff
    is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
    definition.

    There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:

    http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c

    It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
