[New-bugs-announce] [issue35517] enhhance for selector.EpollSelector

[Manjusaka]

New submission from Manjusaka <lizheao940510 at gmail.com>:

Add a keyword argument for selector.EpollSelector with default value.

This can help people use the EPOLLEXCLUSIVE since Python 3.7 and Linux Kernel 4.5 to avoid the herd effect

like this

        def register(self, fileobj, events, data=None, exclusive=False):
            key = super().register(fileobj, events, data)
            epoll_events = 0
            if events & EVENT_READ:
                epoll_events |= select.EPOLLIN
            if events & EVENT_WRITE:
                epoll_events |= select.EPOLLOUT
            try:
                if exclusive and hasattr(select, "EPOLLEXCLUSIVE"):
                    epoll_events |= select.EPOLLEXCLUSIVE
                self._epoll.register(key.fd, epoll_events)
            except BaseException:
                super().unregister(fileobj)
                raise
            return key
