It works like this:
Open the file
Read all the contents.
Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
When poll returns,
close the file and go to top of loop.
or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.
Events are signaled by an object manager calling
sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);
If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).
This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.
The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?
This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
to be pollable

This is two distinct changes.
- Not changing our real parents.
- Not changing our ptrace parents.
Not changing our real parents is trivially correct because both tasks
have the same real parents as they are part of a thread group. Now that
we demote the leader to a thread there is no longer any reason to change
it's parentage.
Not changing our ptrace parents is a user visible change if someone
looks hard enough. I don't think user space applications will care or
even notice.
In the practical and I think common case a debugger will have attached
to all of the threads using the same ptrace flags. From my quick skim
of strace and gdb that appears to be the case. Which if true means
debuggers will not notice a change.
Before this point we have already generated a ptrace event in do_exit
that reports the leaders pid has died so de_thread is visible to a
debugger. Which means attempting to hide this case by copying flags
around appears excessive.
By not doing anything it avoids all of the weird locking issues between
de_thread and ptrace attach, and removes one case from consideration for
fixing the ptrace locking.
This only addresses Oleg's first concern with ptrace_attach, that of the
problems caused by reparenting. Oleg's second concern is essentially a
race between ptrace_attach and release_task that causes an oops when we
get to force_sig_specific. There is nothing special about de_thread
with respect to that race.

[IA64] Make show_mem() skip holes in a pgdat
[IA64] ia64_wait_for_slaves() incorrectly reports MCA
This patch modifies ia64's show_mem() to walk the vmem_map page tables and
rapidly skip forward across regions where the page tables are missing.
This prevents the pfn_valid() check from causing numerous unnecessary
page faults.
Without this patch on a 512 node 512 cpu system where every node has four
memory holes, the show_mem() call takes 1 hour 18 minutes. With this
patch, it takes less than 3 seconds.

By calling send_sig do_SAK is recursively taking the

In addition I just audited the kernel and this was the only

So this one line change is a general worthwhile cleanup and
it increases our options on how to fix the ptrace_attach races.

The driver allocates SRQ WQEs size with a power of 2 size both for
Tavor and for memfree. For Tavor, however, the hardware only requires
the WQE size to be a multiple of 16, not a power of 2, and the max
number of scatter-gather allowed is reported accordingly by the
firmware (and this is the value currently returned by
ib_query_device() and ibv_query_device()).
If the max number of scatter/gather entries reported by the FW is used
when creating an SRQ, the creation will fail for Tavor, since the
required WQE size will be increased to the next power of 2, which
turns out to be larger than the device permitted max WQE size (which
is not a power of 2).
This patch reduces the reported SRQ max wqe size so that it can be used
successfully in creating an SRQ on Tavor HCAs.
