No, this is not what I'm arguing. Once an event arrives for a fd, my
proposed semantics are no different than Mr. Libenzi's. The only
difference is what happens upon registration of interest for a fd. With
my semantics, the kernel guarantees that if the fd is ready then at
least one event has been generated. With Mr Libenzi's semantics, there
is no such guarantee and the application is required to behave as if an
event had been generated upon registration.
