Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHKL_30973

Symptoms: 
	PHKL_30973:
	( SR:8606345444 CR:JAGaf06294 )
	Panic occurs during an ioctl(2) or close on an event port
	device. The stack traces can look like:

	soo_select2+0x8
	unp_poll_handler+0x2c
	so_poll_switch+0x4c
	evp_dp_poll+0x1d8
	evp_ioctl+0x80
	spec_ioctl+0xb0
	vno_ioctl+0x8c
	ioctl+0x138

	or

	so_eventreg+0x78
	evp_dereg_objhdr+0x30
	evp_close+0x108
	call_open_close+0x234
	closed+0x98
	spec_close+0x48
	vn_close+0x40
	vno_close+0x20
	closef+0x60

	PHKL_24064:
	( SR:8606195573 CR:JAGad64777 )
	Enhancement:  /dev/poll provides an interface to the
	eventport driver allowing a user to synchronously monitor a
	specific set of conditions associated with a registered set
	of file descriptors.

Defect Description: 
	PHKL_30973:
	( SR:8606345444 CR:JAGaf06294 )
	The defect can happen in the following two scenarios:

	1) The registration of a file descriptor with an event port
	was not handled properly in certain cases.
	2) A race condition exists between registration and
	deregistration of a file descriptor with a given event port.

	Resolution:
	1) The implementation was modified to handle all possible
	registration paths.
	2) The race condition was closed.

	PHKL_24064:
	( SR:8606195573 CR:JAGad64777 )
	Poll(2) and select(2) do not scale well with a large number
	of file descriptors.

	Resolution:
	Use the /dev/poll semantics instead of poll(2) or select(2).

Enhancement: 
	No (superseded patches contained enhancements)
	PHKL_30973:
		Enhancements were delivered in a patch this one has
		superseded.  Please review the Defect Description
		text for more information.
