Looking at that interface, it appears that a process doing a read() on a timerfd with no timer set will block for a very long time. It's an obvious "don't do that" situation, but perhaps we could help an occasional developer get a clue by returning something like -EINVAL when the timer has not been set? jon - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
