I found that "man 2 select" says
Under Linux, select() may report a socket file descriptor as "ready for
reading", while nevertheless a subsequent read blocks. This could for example
happen when data has arrived but upon examination has wrong checksum and is
discarded. There may be other circumstances in which a file descriptor is
spuriously reported as ready. Thus it may be safer to use O_NONBLOCK on
sockets that should not block.
Linux 2.6.16 2006-03-11 SELECT(2)
People cannot use "poll()" to avoid blocking.
Applications had better not to completely depend on what poll() says.
You don't like TOMOYO's concept. I see.
But I don't see the reason you can't accept this proposal.
What does this proposal break? Please explain me.
