[PATCH] fs/epoll: fix the edge-triggered mode for epoll itself

From: hev
Date: Fri Aug 30 2019 - 01:45:13 EST


From: Heiher <r@xxxxxx>

The structure of event pools:
efd[2]:
{
sfd[0] (EPOLLIN)
}

efd[1]:
{
efd[2] (EPOLLIN)
}

efd[0]:
{
efd[2] (EPOLLIN | EPOLLET)
}

When sfd[0] to be readable:
* the epoll_wait(efd[0], ..., 0) should return efd[2]'s events on first call,
and returns 0 on next calls, because efd[2] is added in edge-triggered mode.
* the epoll_wait(efd[1], ..., 0) should returns efd[2]'s events on every calls
until efd[2] is not readable (epoll_wait(efd[2], ...) => 0), because efd[1]
is added in level-triggered mode.
* the epoll_wait(efd[2], ..., 0) should returns sfd[0]'s events on every calls
until sfd[0] is not readable (read(sfd[0], ...) => EAGAIN), because sfd[0]
is added in level-triggered mode.
