Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] epoll: make sure all elements in ready list are in FIFO order
Date: Thu,  3 Jan 2019 16:01:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190103150104.17128-2-rpenyaev@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190103150104.17128-1-rpenyaev@suse.de>

All coming events are stored in FIFO order and this is also should be
applicable to ->ovflist, which originally is stack, i.e. LIFO.

Thus to keep correct FIFO order ->ovflist should reversed by adding
elements to the head of the read list but not to the tail.
