He did a bisection and found commit 4938d7e0233 (poll: avoid extra wakeups in select/poll) was the source of the problem. Problem is TCP sockets use standard sock_def_readable() function for their sk_data_ready() handler, and sock_def_readable() doesnt signal POLLPRI. Only TCP is affected by the problem. Adding POLLPRI to the list of flags might trigger unnecessary schedules, but URGENT handling is such a seldom used feature this seems a good compromise. Thanks a lot to Leonardo for providing the bisection result and a test program as well.
