Ah? The manual page of epoll_wait() says:

"The  timeout  argument specifies the minimum number of milliseconds that epoll_wait() will block.  (This interval will be rounded up to the system clock granularity, and kernel scheduling delays mean that the blocking  interval may  overrun  by  a  small  amount.)"

I read minimum, not maximum here :-)

If epoll_wait(timeout_ms) may wait less than timeout_ms seconds, asyncio algorithm is wrong, or at least inefficient. It should loop until the time delta is at least total_timeout seconds. See the original issue:
