Subject: [PATCH 5/7] ctx: Remove epollfd from context structure
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 18:46:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731164628.3556997-6-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731164628.3556997-1-lvivier@redhat.com>

The main epoll file descriptor is now managed by the threading subsystem,
so there's no need to store it in the context structure.
All code that previously accessed c->epollfd now calls
threading_epollfd(THREADING_ID_DEFAULT) to get the main event loop's
epoll file descriptor.

Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <lvivier@redhat.com>
