Commit 704ea888d646cb9d715662944cf389c823252ee0 upstream. Since our poll handling is edge triggered, multishot handlers retry internally until they know that no more data is available. In preparation for limiting these retries, add an internal return code, IOU_REQUEUE, which can be used to inform the poll backend about the handler wanting to retry, but that this should happen through a normal task_work requeue rather than keep hammering on the issue side for this one request. No functional changes in this patch, nobody is using this return code just yet. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
