Paton, we normally review the diffs between kernel versions but noticing us via libc-alpha is great.

So, you ask to get this added to <sys/epoll.h>?

#define EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE 4

Once 3.7 is out and contains it, we will add it. A friendly reminder once the patch is in would be nice so that we don't miss it during the review.

thanks,
Andreas

Yes, that's correct (assuming that v3 the patch proposal is approved).
