This ioctl will record the current global event number in the structure dm_file, so that next select or poll call will wait until new events arrived since this ioctl. The DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl has the same effect as closing and reopening the handle. Using the DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl is optional - if the userspace is OK with closing and reopening the /dev/mapper/control handle after select or poll, there is no need to re-arm via ioctl. Usage: 1. open the /dev/mapper/control device 2. send the DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl 3. scan the event numbers of all devices we are interested in and process them 4. call select, poll or epoll on the handle (it waits until some new event happens since the DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl) 5. go to step 2 Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <agrover@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
