Subject: Fix: COMPAT_EPOLL_PROC_PATH is available from Linux 2.6.28
X-Git-Tag: v2.8.7~12
X-Git-Url: https://git.liburcu.org/?p=lttng-tools.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=811b2f150aae06ae0d211dc97416b847986798a3

Fix: COMPAT_EPOLL_PROC_PATH is available from Linux 2.6.28

v2: Typo in commit message "per see" -> "per se"

Failing on opening [1] is not an error per se. [1] was
introduced in Linux 2.6.28 but epoll is available since
2.5.44. Hence, goto end and set a default value without
setting error return value.

[1] /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_watches
