RE: select() inside the kernel

["Carr, Bill" <Bill Carr compaq com>]

Although it is not exactly what you asked for, there is a paper describing
the improvements in scalability by improving the poll() (similar to
select())
api, called /dev/poll.  Check out
http://www.citi.umich.edu/techreports/reports/citi-tr-00-4.ps.gz

You can get the devpoll patch from

Subject: select() inside the kernel


I'm interested in socket usage inside the kernel.
Specifically, I would like to implement a select() functionality in the
kernel,
i.e.,  one kernel thread pending on a set of sockets should wake up
as soon as one (or more) of the sockets receives a message.
I'd appreciate a sample code and/or guidelines for implementing a select

functionality.

Thanks,
 Roi.
