When VT_DISALLOCATE is used on a vt, user space waiting with poll() on the corresponding /dev/vcs device is not awakened. This is now fixed by returning POLLHUP|POLLERR to user space. Also, in the normal screen update case, we don't set POLLERR anymore as POLLPRI alone is a much more logical response in a non-error situation, saving some confusion on the user space side. The only known user app making use of poll() on /dev/vcs* is BRLTTY which is known to cope with that change already, so the risk of breakage is pretty much nonexistent.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
