pps: fix poll support
[ Upstream commit 12c409aa1ec2592280a2ddcc66ff8f3c7f7bb171 ] Because pps_cdev_poll() returns unconditionally EPOLLIN, a user space program that calls select/poll get always an immediate data ready-to-read response. As a result the intended use to wait until next data becomes ready does not work. User space snippet: struct pollfd pollfd = { .fd = open("/dev/pps0", O_RDONLY), .events = POLLIN|POLLERR, .revents = 0 }; while(1) { poll(&pollfd, 1, 2000/*ms*/); // returns immediate, but should wait if(revents & EPOLLIN) { // always true struct pps_fdata fdata; memset(&fdata, 0, sizeof(memdata)); ioctl(PPS_FETCH, &fdata); // currently fetches data at max speed } } Lets remember the last fetch event counter and compare this value in pps_cdev_poll() with most recent event counter and return 0 if they are equal.
