They serve very little purpose and mostly just add noise. Most of them
have been around for a very long time. I read them all before removing
or rephrasing them.
Ref: #3876Closes#3883
The main change here is the timer value that was wrong, it was given in
usecs (ms * 1000), while the itimerspec struct wants nsecs (ms * 1000 *
1000). This resulted in the callback being invoked WAY TOO OFTEN.
As a quick check you can run this command before and after applying this
commit:
# shell 1
./ephiperfifo 2>&1 | tee ephiperfifo.log
# shell 2
echo http://hacking.elboulangero.com > hiper.fifo
Then just compare the size of the logs files.
