Thanks for the report. Looking at the Kernel source code, there doesn't seem to be any difference between -1, -100, or -255: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/9bd553929f68921be0f2014dd06561e0c8249a0d/fs/eventpoll.c#L1747-L1761 Do you know any other OS that implements or mimicks epoll() other than Illumos? Since https://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent/commit/d21b3b2e1bbefbd2f6158ed5d329cd58f86677ab, Illumos follows Linux's behavior, so I'm not sure whether we should do something similar to https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/6cfa927ceb931ad968b5b03e4a2bffb64a8a0604 for epoll.poll().
