That appears to be a special-case subset of my third solution
(enforce read/write time limits with select() instead of poll()).
Their solution a) handles reading only, and b) unconditionally fails
on descriptors >= FD_SETSIZE. My solution handles reading and
writing, and tries to dup() descriptors >= FD_SETSIZE down which
will practially eliminate the problem.
