Hmm. I do wonder if we should just *allow* ->poll() to return an error, and just turn it into "all bits set"? But if getting sparse to catch them all isn't *too* painful and the patch doesn't end up being horribly big, then I guess that's ok. > Linus, what do you think about putting those annotations into mainline during > the next cycle? Just how big is that annotation patch? We have a *lot* of poll functions, don't we? If they all need to be changed, just how bad is the noise for that?
