Subject: [RFC PATCH 02/27] epoll: get rid of epitem->nwait
Date: Sun,  4 Oct 2020 03:39:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201004023929.2740074-2-viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201004023929.2740074-1-viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

we use it only to indicate allocation failures within queueing
callback back to ep_insert().  Might as well use epq.epi for that
reporting...
