Since sometime we have limited time to file a bug, especially during daily review of testsuites result.

I'd like to find a way to add some description in somewhere convenient to use, when file a kernel function bug.

partnerFATE (based on openFATE) is the interface used by our partners to interact directly with the SUSE feature database.

My goal (if I find time) is to install a local instance of partnerfate to use as a test bed for fixes and enhancements.

While there are plenty of benchmarks that compare different IO multiplexing techniques such as epoll vs poll/select, there's really nothing out there that particularly measures epoll system call latencies under different scenarios. Design and implement a series of performance benchmarks for this call under the 'perf bench' framework.
