Subject: [PATCH] notify.c: workaround epoll_pwait bug in current Linux 5.0/5.1
Date: Sat, 11 May 2019 07:56:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190511075630.17811-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

The bugfix should hit mainline and stable kernels, soon; but
there's no reason for us to be caring if errno is EINTR, or
not...
