Hello,
I've been debugging an issue wuth Xen, where xenstored loops at 100%
CPU on poll(2).
after code analysis it's looping on closed Unix socket desriptors.
>From what I understood the code expect poll(2) to return something
different from POLLIN when the remote end of the socket is
closed (it checks for (~(POLLOUT|POLLIN)) to it could be either
POLLERR or POLLHUP I guess - or eventually POLLRDHUP which we don't have).
Who is right here, linux or NetBSD (linux claims to be posix, while
our man page doens't mention it) ?
Is there a way to check if a connection has been closed without a read() ?
