Subject: [PATCH 4/7] flow: Delegate epoll file descriptor management to threading subsystem
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 18:46:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731164628.3556997-5-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731164628.3556997-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
Remove the flow-local epoll_id_to_fd mapping array and instead
rely on the threading subsystem to provide the epoll file descriptor
for a given thread number.
Update all protocol handlers (ICMP, TCP, TCP splice, UDP).
Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <lvivier@redhat.com>
