/*
 * LOCKING:
 * There are three level of locking required by epoll :
 *
 * 1) epmutex (mutex)
 * 2) ep->sem (rw_semaphore)
 * 3) ep->lock (rw_lock)
 *
 * The acquire order is the one listed above, from 1 to 3.
 * We need a spinlock (ep->lock) because we manipulate objects
 * from inside the poll callback, that might be triggered from
 * a wake_up() that in turn might be called from IRQ context.
 * So we can't sleep inside the poll callback and hence we need
 * a spinlock. During the event transfer loop (from kernel to
 * user space) we could end up sleeping due a copy_to_user(), so
 * we need a lock that will allow us to sleep. This lock is a
 * read-write semaphore (ep->sem). It is acquired on read during
 * the event transfer loop and in write during epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
 * and during eventpoll_release_file(). Then we also need a global
 * semaphore to serialize eventpoll_release_file() and ep_free().
 * This semaphore is acquired by ep_free() during the epoll file
 * cleanup path and it is also acquired by eventpoll_release_file()
 * if a file has been pushed inside an epoll set and it is then
 * close()d without a previous call toepoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL).
 * It is possible to drop the "ep->sem" and to use the global
 * semaphore "epmutex" (together with "ep->lock") to have it working,
 * but having "ep->sem" will make the interface more scalable.
 * Events that require holding "epmutex" are very rare, while for
 * normal operations the epoll private "ep->sem" will guarantee
 * a greater scalability.
