We currently only really support sync poll, ie poll with 1 IO in flight. This prepares us for supporting async poll. Note that the returned value isn't necessarily 100% accurate. If poll races with IRQ completion, we assume that the fact that the task is now runnable means we found at least one entry. In reality it could be more than 1, or not even 1. This is fine, the caller will just need to take this into account. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
