sysfs: sysfs poll keep the poll rule of regular file.
Currently, following test programs don't finished. % ruby -e ' Thread.new { sleep } File.read("/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies") ' strace expose the reason. ... open("/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbf9fa6b8) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 _llseek(3, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR) = 0 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3]) read(3, "1400000 1300000 1200000 1100000 1"..., 4096) = 62 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL Because Ruby (the scripting language) VM assume select system-call against regular file don't block. it because SUSv3 says "Regular files shall always poll TRUE for reading and writing". see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/poll.html it seems valid assumption. But sysfs_poll() don't keep this rule although sysfs file can read and write always. This patch restore proper poll behavior to sysfs. /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action polling application and another sysfs updating sensitive application still can use POLLERR and POLLPRI.
