From d0305882825784e74f68a56eee6c3a812a99f235 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Battersby Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:24:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] epoll: remember the event if epoll_wait returns -EFAULT If epoll_wait returns -EFAULT, the event that was being returned when the fault was encountered will be forgotten. This is not a big deal since EFAULT will happen only if a buggy userspace program passes in a bad address, in which case what happens later usually doesn't matter. However, it is easy to remember the event for later, and this patch makes a simple change to do that.
