6772303: (se) IOException: Invalid argument" thrown on a call to
Selector.select(value) with -d64
This is Solaris and 64-bit specific. In summary, the DP_POLL ioctl
used to retrieve events from the /dev/poll driver limits the number of
pollfd entries in the poll array to the maximum number of file
descriptors minus 1. The /dev/poll Selector uses this limit or 8k
(whichever is smaller) to size its poll array. This sizing breaks for
the unlimited case on 64-bit because RLIM64_INFINITY is negative (-3)
and also the code is truncating the limit to a jint. This manifests
with the select method throwing IOException "Invalid argument". There
are many ways to fix this, one of the simplest being to treat infinity
as Integer.MAX_VALUE.
