[PATCH v9 net-next 5/7] net: simple poll/select low latency socketpoll

From: Eliezer Tamir
Date: Wed Jun 05 2013 - 06:36:44 EST


A very naive select/poll busy-poll support.
Add busy-polling to sock_poll().
When poll/select have nothing to report, call the low-level
sock_poll() again until we are out of time or we find something.
Right now we poll every socket once, this is suboptimal
but improves latency when the number of sockets polled is not large.
