Michael Kerrisk 0bdda5d08e poll.2: Note that poll() equivalent code for ppoll() is not quite equivalent
As reported by Alan Stern:

Here are two extracts from the man page for ppoll(2):

     Specifying a negative value in timeout means an infinite
     timeout.

     Other than the difference in the precision of the timeout
     argument, the following ppoll() call:

       ready = ppoll(&fds, nfds, tmo_p, &sigmask);

     is equivalent to atomically executing the following calls:

       sigset_t origmask;
       int timeout;

       timeout = (tmo_p == NULL) ? -1 :
                 (tmo_p->tv_sec * 1000 + tmo_p->tv_nsec / 1000000);
       pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &sigmask, &origmask);
       ready = poll(&fds, nfds, timeout);
       pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &origmask, NULL);

But if tmo_p->tv_sec is negative, the ppoll() call is not
equivalent to the corresponding poll() call.  The kernel rejects
negative values of tv_sec with an EINVAL error; it does not
interpret the value as meaning an infinite timeout.

(Yes, the kernel interprets tmo_p == NULL as an infinite timeout,
but the man page is still wrong for the case tmo_p->tv_sec < 0.)

Suggested fix: Following the end of the second extract above, add:

    except that negative time values in tmo_p are not
    interpreted as an infinite timeout.

Also, in the ERRORS section, change the text for EINVAL to:

    EINVAL The nfds value exceeds the RLIMIT_NOFILE value or
    *tmo_p contains an invalid (negative) time value.

Nicolas B f25ea51b98 poll.2, select.2: Add a reference to the sigset discussion in sigprocmask(2)
A little while back, I added a note to sigprocmask.2 that
discussed the difference between the libc's and the kernel's
sigset_t structures.  I added that note, because I saw this being
done wrong in a tool tracing system calls (causing subtle bugs).
As it turns out, the same bugs existed for ppoll and pselect, for
the same reason. I'm hoping by adding the reference here, future
writers of similar tools will find that discussion and not make
the same mistake.

richardvoigt@gmail.com 32c8dbc049 poll.2: timeout_ts is a pointer, so use -> not . for member access
From the context, it is apparent that in the code explaining
ppoll in terms of poll, timeout_ts must be a pointer.

Usage #1:   ready = ppoll(&fds, nfds, timeout_ts, &sigmask);

Usage #2:    (timeout_ts == NULL)

Thus member access in (timeout_ts.tv_sec * 1000 +
timeout_ts.tv_nsec / 1000000) is an error.

Rusty Russell d2e7d1bb58 poll.2, select.2: fix erroneous description of "available for write".
POSIX says: "POLLOUT Normal data may be written without
blocking.".  This is "may" is misleading, see the POSIX
write page:

    Write requests to a pipe or FIFO shall be handled in the
    same way as a regular file with the following exceptions:
    ...
    If the O_NONBLOCK flag is clear, a write request may cause
    the thread to block, but on normal completion it shall
    return nbyte.
    ...
    When attempting to write to a file descriptor (other than a
    pipe or FIFO) that supports non-blocking writes and cannot
    accept the data immediately:

    If the O_NONBLOCK flag is clear, write() shall block the
    calling thread until the data can be accepted.

    If the O_NONBLOCK flag is set, write() shall not block the
    thread. If some data can be written without blocking the
    thread, write() shall write what it can and return the
    number of bytes written. Otherwise, it shall return -1 and
    set errno to [EAGAIN].

The net result is that write() of more than 1 byte on a
socket, pipe or FIFO which is "ready" may block: write()
(unlike read!) will attempt to write the entire buffer and
only return a short write under exceptional circumstances.

Indeed, this is the behaviour we see in Linux:
