flags
is indeed deprecated, but there is a validation on its value forbackwards compatibility reasons. This adds mention of this in the docs.
sizehint
is deprecated and ignored, but it is stillused when
epoll_create1()
is unavailable. This adds mention of this inthe docs.
sizehint=-1
is acceptable again, and is replaced withFD_SETSIZE-1
.This is needed to have a default value available at the Python level,
since
FD_SETSIZE
is not exposed to Python. (see: bpo-31938)sizehint=0
since it is invalid to pass on toepoll_create()
.The relevant tests have also been updated.
(cherry picked from commit 0cdf5f4)
