please include me on cc' as I'm not subscribed to this list.
I'm thinking about doing some more work on select/poll for freebsd.
The gist of my changes would be two modifications.
1) when select has to allocate space via malloc, cache it in the
proc struct to avoid dipping into malloc on future calls.
2) get rid of select collisions. now that we have the tracking
of the selinfo structs, we can actually allocate then ahead
of time and hang them off of the selinfo in the objects, this
would have some memory overhead, but get rid of the collision
problem.
So, what I'm asking is...
Can anyone state ahead of time why they would object to this?
(please reply publically)
Who will test it?
(privately plz)
Thanks!
