[PATCH v2] selftests/epoll: add a regression test for pipe->poll_usage

From: Oleg Nesterov

Date: Wed Jul 29 2026 - 08:13:10 EST


pipe->poll_usage was added to ensure that edge-triggered epoll consumers
get a wakeup on every write, even if the pipe was already non-empty.
However, none of the existing epoll_wakeup_test cases cover this; the
test suite passes even with WRITE_ONCE(pipe->poll_usage, true) removed.

Add a test that writes twice to a pipe and verifies that epoll_wait with
EPOLLET reports data each time. This covers the pipe-specific per-write
wakeup behavior that edge-triggered consumers depend on.
