Subject: net/tap: avoid using SIGIO
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2cecd7f9747523ff415b0ed66fe6c4ff0b107a1f;p=dpdk.git

net/tap: avoid using SIGIO

SIGIO maybe used by application, instead choose another rt-signal.
Linux allows any signal to be used for signal based IO.
Search for an unused signal in the available rt-signal range.

Add more error checking for fcntl and signal handling.
