Subject: [ruby-core:57531] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8788][Feedback] use	eventfd on newer Linux instead of pipe for timer thread


Issue #8788 has been updated by naruse (Yui NARUSE).

Status changed from Open to Feedback
Target version changed from current: 2.1.0 to next minor

I'm negative because it causes code complex unless it has performance improvement.

Feature #8788: use eventfd on newer Linux instead of pipe for timer thread

Target version: next minor


eventfd is a cheaper alternative to pipe for self-notification (signals) on Linux

I will submit patches in the next few days/weeks unless there are objections
(or somebody else wants to do it sooner).  I'd also like to cleanup some of the existing #ifdefs in that area while I'm at it.
