    net: add option to enable error queue packets waking select · 7d4c04fc
    Keller, Jacob E 提交于
    Currently, when a socket receives something on the error queue it only wakes up
    the socket on select if it is in the "read" list, that is the socket has
    something to read. It is useful also to wake the socket if it is in the error
    list, which would enable software to wait on error queue packets without waking
    up for regular data on the socket. The main use case is for receiving
    timestamped transmit packets which return the timestamp to the socket via the
    error queue. This enables an application to select on the socket for the error
    queue only instead of for the regular traffic.

    * Modified every socket poll function that checks error queue
