From ae3a4f1fdc2cfad089e79e2ee4697f84941528d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:22:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] eventpoll: add epoll_sendevents() helper Basic helper that copies ready events to the specified userspace address. The event checking is quick and racy, it's up to the caller to ensure it retries appropriately in case 0 events are copied.
