Subject: [PATCH 3/5] eventpoll: add file based control interface
Date: Sun, 3 May 2026 02:49:14 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260503085101.112698-4-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260503085101.112698-1-axboe@kernel.dk>
Add do_epoll_ctl_file(), which takes a pre-resolved epoll file and a
struct epoll_filefd for the target rather than two integer file
descriptors. do_epoll_ctl() remains as a thin wrapper.
In preparation for using the file based interface from io_uring.
