[PATCH v3 04/13] epoll: some sanity flags checks for epoll syscalls for polling from userspace

From: Roman Penyaev
Date: Thu May 16 2019 - 05:01:19 EST


There are various of limitations if epfd is polled by user:

1. Expect always EPOLLET flag (Edge Triggered behavior)

2. No support for EPOLLWAKEUP
events are consumed from userspace, thus no way to call __pm_relax()

3. No support for EPOLLEXCLUSIVE
If device does not pass pollflags to wake_up() there is no way to
call poll() from the context under spinlock, thus special work is
scheduled to offload polling. In this specific case we can't
support exclusive wakeups, because we do not know actual result
of scheduled work.

4. epoll_wait() for epfd, created with EPOLL_USERPOLL flag, accepts events
as NULL and maxevents as 0. No other values are accepted.
