Thank you for your answer!


I spent a lot of time testing a whole lot of different combinations and the results still 
confused me...

I discovered this behavior while investigating an app that seemed to rely on them to 
interrupt some polls, and so far it seems to be its sole purpose.
There is only one reason I can imagine a use for this instead of CancelIo(): As the 
NtDeviceIoControlFile()'s file handle is independent of the socket in params, it provides a 
way to interrupt another poll that waits on the same socket without the need to know the 
file handle that was originally given to it.
 
Regardless its behaviour is kind of crazy.
I tried to restrict to a subset of the tests to avoid polluting test_poll() too much, but indeed 
it requires an entire function to test it properly.

So after some extensive testing, I'm rather confident that the logic for a new poll on a 
socket is:
(The main poll is an arbitrary designation for one of the poll waiting on the socket)
If there is no main poll on the socket, then the new poll becomes the main poll.
If the main poll is terminated, then there is no main poll anymore.
If the main poll is exclusive and the new poll is exclusive, then the main poll is terminated 
and the new poll becomes the main poll.


The flag does not seem to do anything more than this (apart from requiring 
0x7fffffff00000000 <= timeout <= 0x7fffffffffffffff).

Yes, the mechanism described earlier seems to be done on a per-socket basis.

Yes, it works the same way (a single common socket between exclusive polls is enough to 
wake the poll)

Can yes, didn't want to, but did it anyway :)
I get the expected result: It works exactly the same as the single threaded version.

So I guess I now have enough insight to write a proper implementation.
The patch for the tests is attached to this job: https://testbot.winehq.org/JobDetails.pl?

Feel free to tell me if other tests come to your mind.
