flagsis indeed deprecated, but there is a validation on its value forbackwards compatibility reasons. This adds mention of this in the docs.
sizehintis deprecated and ignored, but it is stillused when
epoll_create1()is unavailable. This adds mention of this inthe docs.
sizehint=-1is acceptable again, and is replaced withFD_SETSIZE-1.This is needed to have a default value available at the Python level,
since
FD_SETSIZEis not exposed to Python. (see: bpo-31938)sizehint=0since it is invalid to pass on toepoll_create().The relevant tests have also been updated.
