The epoll_create manpage (current version as of 2010-11-28) contains:
SYNOPSIS
...
int epoll_create(int size);
...
DESCRIPTION
...
(Nowadays, size is ignored; see NOTES below.)
...
ERRORS
EINVAL size is not positive.
...
NOTES
Since Linux 2.6.8, the size argument is unused. ...
on the other hand, fs/eventpoll.c contains:SYSCALL_DEFINE1(epoll_create, int, size)

return -EINVAL;
return sys_epoll_create1(0);
}The size parameter is not ignored as stated in the manpage. Please correct the manpage or remove the check inside the implementation.
