Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH V4] Switch from select() to poll() in xenconsoled's IO loop



On 07/01/13 14:28, Wei Liu wrote:
In Linux select() typically supports up to 1024 file descriptors. This can be
a problem when user tries to boot up many guests. Switching to poll() has
minimum impact on existing code and has better scalibility.

pollfd array is dynamically allocated / reallocated. If the array fails to
expand, we just ignore the incoming fd.

Change from V2:
   * remove unnecessary malloc in initialize_pollfd_arrays
   * use ROUND_UP to get new size of arrays

Change from V3:
   * remove initialize and destroy function for array
   * embedded tracking structure in struct domain, eliminate fd_to_pollfd
