Description of problem: qmfv2 does not provide a way to determine via a pollable file descriptor if a new event is available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel 6.1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. no api present 2. 3. Actual results: must simulate a pollable file descriptor by creating a timer to poll on a time interval to check for new events. Expected results: An api to get a pollable file descriptor should be made available. When this pollable fd has a POLLIN event, a following event retrieval should result in an event without any delay related to timers for good high performance operation. Additional info: Workaround involves starting a timer to "poll" the event list via qmfv2. Need a file descriptor to let the kernel do the polling so our apps don't chew cpu in cloud environments.
