From 13d518074a952d33d47c428419693f63389547e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Baron Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:01:47 -0700 Subject: epoll: clear the tfile_check_list on -ELOOP An epoll_ctl(,EPOLL_CTL_ADD,,) operation can return '-ELOOP' to prevent circular epoll dependencies from being created. However, in that case we do not properly clear the 'tfile_check_list'. Thus, add a call to clear_tfile_check_list() for the -ELOOP case. Signed-off-by: Jason Baron Reported-by: Yurij M.
