Hm, as far as I know, SELECT is not recommended. But yes, it seems side-effect
of select is small here. But I avoid it as much as possible, usually.

Moreover, in this case,
- EVENTFD is a feature which is enabled by default.
- cgroup is "Say N if unsure" config.

In this case, "depends on" is good.
