Agreed. I've put my wfcqueue changes from years back on hold because I couldn't show a meaningful improvement in real-world cases: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20130401183118.ga9...@dcvr.yhbt.net/ Roman's changes have me interested in seeing how my previous changes would stack up (no UAPI changes required). I've been looking for time to forward port my wfcqueue work to the current kernel (but public-inbox takes priority; not that I have much time for that). On the userspace side; I'm not sure any widely-used open source project is really impacted by epoll performance... Most everybody seems to use level-trigger :<
