Switch timerfd to using fops->read_iter(), so it can support not just O_NONBLOCK but IOCB_NOWAIT as well. With the latter, users like io_uring interact with timerfds a lot better, as they can be driven purely by the poll trigger. Manually get and install the required fd, so that FMODE_NOWAIT can be set before the file is installed into the file table. No functional changes intended in this patch, it's purely a straight conversion to using the read iterator method. 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 reStructuredText 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.
