Why? Can't we simply use O_NONBLOCK ?
It's the same thing we seem to do for any other (anon inode) fds:
include/linux/eventfd.h:#define EFD_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK include/uapi/linux/inotify.h:#define IN_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK include/uapi/linux/signalfd.h:#define SFD_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK include/uapi/linux/timerfd.h:#define TFD_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK
also for O_CLOEXEC:
include/linux/eventfd.h:#define EFD_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC include/linux/userfaultfd_k.h:#define UFFD_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC include/uapi/linux/eventpoll.h:#define EPOLL_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC include/uapi/linux/mount.h:#define OPEN_TREE_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h:#define PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC (1UL << 3) /* O_CLOEXEC */ include/uapi/linux/signalfd.h:#define SFD_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC include/uapi/linux/timerfd.h:#define TFD_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC
So I think we should just do the same.
Hmm, OK, then I have to agree.
A clean flag namespace seems nicer to me too tbh.
Disagree but this doesn't matter ;)
